John 13:34-35 Love like your eternity depends on it.

Posted on by Just broken

John 13:34-35
“34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

A new commandment. Love one another. Not just people who are like you in sociology-economic status, color, background, whatever, but everyone, regardless of the aforementioned. Believers, non-believers, healthy, sick, whole, broken, upright, downright: everyone.

What does that love look like? To love sacrificially, unconditionally, radically, selflessly, wholly, completely.

By this, you will be known as followers. Not by the clothes you wear, the books you read, the jewelry you show, the things you say, the money you give, none of those. You’ll be known by how you love. When you love, everything else falls into place. You can’t love like Christ and not fall in with everything else it means to be a Christ follower.

Love like your eternity depends on it.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
