Verse for the Day:
John 13:34-35
NCV: I give you a new command; Love each other. You must love each other as I have loved you. All the people will know that you are my followers if you love each other.
KJV: A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Note:
The Christian is commanded to love, in a greater and special way. Loving all true Christians, including those who are not of our church. Any person who have faith in Jesus Christ, will obey Jesus' command to love brother or sister in Christ and one who deserves my special love, honor, and support. This kind of love is basically a self-giving and sacrificial love which seeks the good of another. All believers must have character that will show concern for others. Christians will show themselves friendly toward others in time of trials. Christians would be careful of each other's feelings and reputation, and deny (give up) themselves to promote (to help) each other's welfare (needs & interest). It is important that love for God and His will, control and direct our love for others. Love for God must always be first. Secondly, love your neighbor.
Dorothy:
Can you imagine what kind of love Christ has? Think... Jesus commanded us to love others just the same way He loves us. The way Christ loved us, we are to use the same measurement of His love in us to love others. Doesn't that blow your mind? Actually, His love has no measure. His love has no limit. His love is so powerful that it should BIND US TOGETHER. This song is a prayer, asking the Lord to have all Christians, to bind us together with love. This is the strength of a Christian's character, bind us together with love.
Song: Bind Us Together
Bind us together, Lord; Bind us together with cords
that cannot be broken. Bind us together, Lord;
Bind us together, Lord; Bind us together with love.
There is only one God. There is only one King.
There is only one Body, That is why we can sing:
Bind us together, Lord; Bind us together with cords
that cannot be broken. Bind us together, Lord;
Bind us together, Lord; Bind us together with love.
[Lyrics and music: Bob Gillman]
What does this means to me?
Whoa! Awesome! Powerful message! Hair standing! Great weapon to fight against demons who send "cold shoulders" to some of us Christians. If any of us have "cold shoulders", we need deliverance, don't we? Let us love one another in action, not in words only.
God bless you.
