Love. It inspires people to feel, think, act, etc. I am blessed to have a life full of people I love and people who love me. Love is unconditional and has no depths or ends. It inspires us to wonder, to dream, to hope, to be full of life, and to have happiness. Jesus even commanded that we love one another and to love The Lord our God with all our hearts. After all, Jesus showed He loves the greatest by dying on the cross for our sins. The Bible even lays out how we are to love in one of my favorite parts in the Bible.
"If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!... Three things will last forever - faith, hope, and love - and the greatest of these is love." -1 Corinthians 13:1-8, 13 NLT
Let's open our hearts to love, and love like Christ does.
