1 John 3:11
For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
Is it too much to be asked to be loved by someone? No, not really. We all want to be loved by someone. However, we also should remember we are loved by God and that is enough. Everything else is just icing on the cake!
Today’s verse instructs us to love one another. That is it. It is a short verse with no strings attached. It doesn’t say we should love those who love us. Nor does it say we should only love those who look, dress, talk and act like us. News Flash, it doesn’t even say we should only love those who love like us. Nope, it says love one another. Like I said, short, simple, and no strings attached.
So, why do we find this so hard? We want to be loved for who we are and not just because we look, dress, talk, and act like someone else. We want to be loved with no strings attached. Shouldn’t we offer the same love to others? YES!
God has already offered that love to you. Now it is your job to pass that love on to others. God never said He would only love you when you clean your act up. He never said He would only love you if you look, dress, talk, or act a certain way. No, He said I love you today, tomorrow, and forever! Now, it is your turn to go out and spread the love!
Lord, help me love one another with no strings attached. ~amen
