Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. -1 Peter 4:8

When Jesus gave His life for us, He demonstrated the greatest act of love this world has ever known. If we are truly going to be followers of Him, He only asks one thing of us; To love others with His kind of love.

Love must be important considering it is the greatest and one new commandment that Jesus gave us to live by. It is so important to love because our love for each other is a testimony of Him, for God is love.

Specifically as women, I believe we have a unique ability to demonstrate God's kind of love, with a grace and strength that is unique to how He designed us. Think about that; You were designed to mirror WHO God is by reflecting His love to the world around you. If you are a mother, you have a powerful position to teach the next generation God's unconditional love, which has the ability to affect deep rooted and wide spread change.

When we walk in love towards one another, it is then that our lives demonstrate that His life changing power is real. This is easy to do when we are walking in love towards those that are lovely, but how do we love the unlovable? It starts with the understanding that love is a verb. It is not a feeling or emotion, but rather it is an action.

We can begin to walk in love today by asking God to help us see others through His eyes. When we are having a hard time loving someone, we can ask God to work in our mind and heart and cause His love to flow through us towards that person.

When we truly love others, it is then that we are called a disciple, or follower of Christ (John 13:35). If you know Christ as your personal Savior today, and He is the Lord of your life, the greatest way you can demonstrate that to the world is by loving people around you with the Love of God.

Prayer: “Lord, I thank you that you demonstrated your great love for me by sending your only Son so that I could have relationship with you. Thank you for pouring out your love in my heart towards others. Help me love people with your kind of love and to see them through your eyes. Help my sincere love for others permeate my life so greatly that others might recognize and see you in me! In Jesus’ Name, Amen!”
