“For God so loved the world...” (John 3:16)
“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love” (1 John 4:8).
“Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him” (1 John 4:16).
I’m not sure why this is so hard for some of us but please think about this for a minute:
allow yourself to be loved - there is way too much hurt in this ole world, and you have to handle more than your share of it. So if someone wants to love you, to do good to you, to treat you right - let them...and enjoy it.
love more! Make a commitment to love more. Start trying to think - “what would be the loving thing to do/say/way to act? Then do it. Some of us have been trained to be judgmental, to hold grudges, to become bitter toward...I think it is mostly those of us who are human.
don't let someone leave your presence without them feeling loved. Say that thing that you need to say. Let others know if they are special to you.
determine to be that - even if others aren't...don't...won't. love more.
hate less
so that the love of God can be known
love more.
How about that for some new years resolutions?
