Got love?
What is God showing me?
Well, first off, that He is in charge and we need only to be obedient to Him and Him alone.
This week is especially sweet to share with my girls about the sacrifice that Jesus performed for a people who neither knew him nor followed him.
On, Wednesday, the last supper for Jesus and his disciples, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, knowing what would happen to him in a few short hours, he showed to us his servanthood and humility and love.
He broke bread with them and shared Himself with them, for a little while longer.
He gave them one last command, and it was a doozy; "love your neighbor as yourself so that the world will know that you are my disciples."
Then He did what He came to do....He died and rose again.....to make a way for us to be with Him forever
That just blows me away.....and speaks so clearly to me about embracing this idea of love, not a love within my flesh, but of a Love that doesn't require reciprocity, that doesn't need approval, a Love that identifies you as a child of the Living God.
I don't know about you, but I am humbled to the core of my soul, and I want nothing more that to give praise and honor and glory to my Father in heaven by loving people simply because God loves them and He commanded us to do so.
Got love?
Try God.
