We have
talked about loving God and loving ourselves and loving our neighbor.
What about loving those we live with, like our natural family and our church
family?
Most
couples, when they marry, include in their nuptials, scriptures about love
taken from the Bible. One favorite is 1st Corinthians
13:1-13. Let’s turn there and read about love.
As time
goes by the marriage should mature in love if the each of the partners believed
in what they read in 1st Corinthians 13:1-13. However, sometimes things change and
the partners start to grow apart from each other. This is the time we
must focus on the issues causing the problems and refocus on the love that
Jesus want us to share with each other.
Refocusing
might even take us to pray with words similar to those found in Psalm 51:1-4.
If only
more people would refocus with such intensity, we would have much more joy in
the Lord.
Such a
refocusing takes effort and also a devoted love for Jesus Christ.
After all,
won’t “all men know that you are disciples of Jesus, if you have love one to
another?” John 13:35
Oh
Merciful Father,
Wash me
thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Thank You,
Lord.
For it is
in your Name I pray, Amen.
