An awakening of Love!

in #steemchurch6 years ago (edited)

Community, if God loved us first, what is it to love our neighbor?



Loving your neighbor is a rule in this new life, it is a commandment to follow. The world does not revolve around us, but rotates and turns solely and exclusively for the love that God has chosen to have for us.

For many centuries, religiosity condemned what seemed strange to him, repudiated and alienated what he did not like, but what no one perceives is that everyone has at some point already been unpleasant for some kind of pre-established pattern. Today, there is still much of that and every day more people are far from the true love for said investments. But I get to see an awakening, an awakening of true love, of the love that Christ really had for us, a love that chose to love and welcome the stranger, so that when exposed to love the "stranger" could mature and leave his old practices .

That is my generation, that is me. A generation that does not only look at the outside, but also manages to have compassion and perceive the interior that is often so desperate and broken. A generation that chooses to let stones fall to the ground and not throw them, a generation that does not accept erroneous practices, but accepts who commits them and is willing to change and take new directions.

Once Christ loved us and died for us it is not asking too much that we die for Him and set aside all our rooted truths that often only move us away. If He chose to love us, it is obligatory that we love all those who are in the same place as we were one day. Because as it is written in John 13:34:

"A new commandment I give you: that you love one another, just as I loved you, that in the same way you can have love for others."

Love needs to be the bulwark of our lives, it needs to be the brand of our flag, because once exposed to true love, it is impossible that our lost brothers do not want to return home. Or better, be the flag and allow where you arrive, LOVE come together.

Hello Carolina
Loving your neighbor was never as challenging as in our days, it is directly linked to our lifestyle and also to our values. To love your neighbor is to serve you in the same way you would like to be served.

Selfishness is one of reason many suffer from a feeling of emptiness and lack. A selfish life is a miserable and poor life. Thanks carolina for reminding us
