Above all, Have Intense Love for One Another

Above all, love each other deeply, that’s where we’re going today. Can you truly love another person while spreading gossip about them behind their back. That’s not a friend nor does that express the love of God in any way. When we are living out the love of God in our everyday lives, no matter what comes against us, we’re ready to love deeply. With God’s unfailing love, we have the willingness to disregard, and forgive others of their shortcomings. To love unlovely people deeply, is a ministry not many are willing to take on. If your stuff isn’t in order, in other words, if you haven’t been developed in the agape love of God, you’re not ready to love deeply. To love deeply is to love no matter what another person does to you or to a loved one, you won’t treat them any differently than if you were talking face to face with Jesus (1 Corinthians 13:7). Getting over our own flesh and then someone else’s, takes conquering lots of bad experiences, and personal hurts. After what they did to Jesus on the cross, it’s a walk in the park to walk in love. Above all things have intense, and unfailing love for one another. This is not a request, it’s a command from the Lord. It’s for our own welfare, safety and successful outcomes towards our God given purpose.
