How You Lovin’?

“Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and disregards the offenses of others]”. Our normal way of being in character, and in our integrity, should be based on, and motivated by God’s love. We have in us the ability to love the unlovely and in our maturity this is possible. We are love children of a love God. Being like our Father God is the idea for our existence here and now. Our love for others can cover a multitude of sins, the bible says. Not sharing the business of someone who confided in you to get comfort from your words, even though they missed the mark. Tough love holds its ground when a friend or loved one can only understand their waywardness by separating yourself from them. Love has many facets and attributes of expression. We as Christians should on the regular, love each other deeply, as the bible subscribes. Smiling in your face and then talking about you like a dog behind your back isn’t love on any level, it’s straight up wrong. Most of us live by selfish love, I’ll do for you if you do for me, no sacrifice there. Only a committed lifestyle to God’s teachings and precepts can grasp the understanding of the agape love of God.
