John 13:34-35 - "A new command I give you; Love one another. As I have loved you so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
We are on Day 22. We are halfway through our 40 Day journey of loving like Jesus! It is truly life-changing. We have looked at 3 powerful principles modeled and taught by Jesus:
1. Place the highest value on relationships
2. Love as Jesus loves you
3. Communicate from the heart
Last night we looked at Love is Forgiving.
1 Corinthians 13:5 - Love...doesn't keep a record of wrongs that others do."
I am praying for the Lord to transform my memory and help me to release to Him the wrongs of others and not keep a list. I know I wouldn't want someone to keep a list of all of my wrong choices so I need to do the same for others. Love is forgiving!
Luke 6:27-28 - "Do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."
3 Reasons to forgive others:
- God has forgiven me
- Bitterness makes you miserable
- You are going to need more forgiveness in the future.
Lord, help me to forgive others because You have forgiven me. Help me to realize that I can forgive others through You. Help me to love like Jesus.
