Musing on loving your neighbor. Or keeping house for seven little persons.
Plop that baby in a platinum setting. That says love to me.
Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples. John 13:34 – 35.
Those are Jesus words.
Mathison asks, “What does love really mean?”
No. In real non-fairy tale life it means…
or maybe this…
Someday my prince will come.
Heck. I don’t know what love means. Do you?
Putting the word Christian in front helps narrow down the possible definitions to the kind of love was Jesus talking about.
Mathison says this:
“But if we truly love each other — if we allow God to love others through us — then we’ll focus on helping others succeed. We’ll be willing to get our eyes off of ourselves for a while and put them on someone else.”
If I only had a little humility, I would be perfect. ~ Ted Turner.
We’re all incredibly full of self-love, if self-love is determined by amount of time we think about ourselves. It can manifest itself byhaving a huge (self-admitted) ego like Ted or ian incredibly insecure, inordinately preoccupied with self outlook on life.
Day 5 questions:
What’s my biggest challenge when it comes to loving other people.
Me — of course. As the fact I’m still on day 21 with my noncomplaining band suggests.
How could God change that?
Let’s not get personal.
Talk about a transformation.
