Day 3
Love is one of those words that our society has nearly completely butchered, it can now mean almost anything…but especially ‘tolerance’. However we are called to love as God does. Which goes way beyond just wanting the other to experience temporary pleasure. He wants the very best for each one of us … holiness…a life of grace. He wants us and every single person that we come in contact with to be in union with Himself.
God is love, and he who abides in love, abides in God and God abides in Him (1 John 4:16)
Our mission then becomes to simply love God with our whole heart, mind and soul. God IS love, so as in Acts 17: 28 “for in Him (LOVE) we live and move and have our being”. So love isn’t something we feel, or even do…it’s something that we as Christians ARE. This is our Core…it’s only from there that our ‘steps’ can develop. Our life then becomes love ascending to love. And each step we take, each cross we embrace along the way, it becomes a labor of love.
