How to Love In Light Of What Matters Most
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” Colossians 3:12-14 NIV
- Love like I’m God’s child
“…as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience…”
- Love like I’m forgiven
“Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”
“Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eyewhen you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.” Matthew 7:1-5 NLT
- Pulling out my own plank: A continual realization, awareness, and admission of my own faults and sin
- Love intentionally
“…put on love…”
“Little children, let us stop just saying we love people; let us really love them, and show it by our actions.” 1 John 3:18 TLB
- Love your family and those close to you
- Love the poor, the broken and the outcast (Matthew 25:40)
- Love the church and love one another (John 13:34-35)
