" So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
John 13:34-35
What a hi calling, I know I definitly don't love others the way He loves me, I mean I can try to love like I love myself, because I don't like me sometimes, and I can be pretty mean to me, jeje, but to love others the way He loves me, giving all of myself, in such a pure way, not expecting anything in return, not because it's a deserved love, but to bring glory to our Father! To prove to the world that we are disciples of Jesus! Wow I want to strive for that!
I love to think about it this way, In any situation when you just want to explode, just call on God and say to whatever the circumstance is "In your face! (en tu cara jeje) I will not allow this to break mem and I will choose to love! I won't allow the enemy to hurt me or distract me form God's purpose in this, I'm going to love and that is final!" jeje when we realize that love is the biggest strongest weapon, it can break any stronghold, it can tear down any wall, it's so amazing, but definitly cannot be done in our own strength, it's not a love that we can produce from ourselves, it does not come naturally to us, AT ALL!
So let's just remember to examine ourselves, with our attitudes, with our reactions, with our words and actions, what is coming out of us? are we allowing God to fill us up, or what is filling us up?
"For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." or like it says in another translation "What you say flows from what is in your heart." Luke 6:45b / Mathew 12:33b
So just keep in check your spiritual, mental and emotional diet! You really are what you eat, let's feast on what God has in store for us!!!
