1 Peter 3:8 “Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another, love as brothers, be tender hearted, be courteous.”
To be always compassionate and to love as brothers and sisters, can be a challenge to some of us, who are sinful, hard hearted and self-focused. Though to be always compassionate and loving to others is my intention, it is not always what I deliver, what about you?
As I read the Holy Bible, God over and over promises to fill those who ask, with His love through Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I am so glad I have help available to be a nicer, loving person. I ask the Lord to go with me each day, and to be imbued with His Spirit. I ask often through the day because we are told to ask often, for we are in new need all through the day. I also pray that I centre on beholding the perfect life of Jesus. In so doing, we will have our mind taken off our challenges, and onto Christ and how He lived and treated other people on earth, when severely challenged on all sides, daily. Jesus does open my eyes to what He wants me to do for others and the compassion I can give, so through Him my love will spill out.
I pray that Jesus will continue to grow my comprehension for His great love of we who live upon earth. That is why He came to earth, to live out the principles of God, make disciples, and in the end forever pay the price for our sins, in sacrificial death. Such love and sacrifice is divine!
Jesus has paid the price for all our sins, and is always inviting us to repent and confess our sins, so we can be forgiven and then realizing our weaknesses, make request for His strength, to live a life that loves Him and all people as He does. Proverbs 3:27 “Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so.”
Praises to our wonderful God above, from whom all blessings flow. Hallelujah!
