Love.


It seems like such a relatively simple idea, but when you seek to attain Jesus' standard of love, it's quite the task!  At Bible study this morning I was reminded of just what love means... to hold no record of wrongs, to forgive over and over and over no matter what another person has done to you, being patient and kind, and not seeking self in this whole thing called love.  I seem to forget how to do the most foundational thing Jesus gives us a direct command for... to LOVE!  I feel like I just need to repeat it over and over in my head throughout the day that I might not forget, "Love, love, love, love, love, love, love!"

I want to keep asking Jesus to give me an overwhelming love for other people and daily give Him the glory for it.  If love covers over a multitude of sins, why do I not seek to give it wholeheartedly?
