In the busyness of our daily lives, it's easy to forget the fundamental truth within the scriptures. John 13:34 says, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." But what does it really mean to embody this divine love in our relationships with others? How can we love one another authentically and wholeheartedly, mirroring the boundless love that God has bestowed upon us? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  At the heart of this commandment lies the cornerstone of compassion, empathy, and kindness. To love one another as God loves us means to embrace one another's flaws and imperfections with grace and understanding, just as the Lord extends His mercy to each and every one of us. In 1 John 4:7-8, we are reminded that "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." This profound truth underscores the interconnectedness between our capacity to love one another and our spiritual relationship with God. The K.I.S.S. ~ As I have loved you! Yet, amidst our efforts to extend love outwardly to others, we often neglect an essential aspect of this commandment: the importance of self-love. In Mark 12:31, Jesus instructs us to "Love your neighbor as yourself." This suggests that loving others is intricately linked to loving ourselves, recognizing our inherent worthiness, and embracing our own humanity with compassion. It is crucial to remember that self-love is not synonymous with selfishness or narcissism but rather a profound acceptance of ourselves as beloved children of God. In Psalm 139:14, we are reminded, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Embracing this divine truth enables us to love others from a place of wholeness and authenticity, nurturing relationships rooted in mutual respect and understanding. As we navigate the complexities of human relationships, let us heed the words of Romans 12:10: "Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves." By cultivating a spirit of love and humility in our interactions with others, we bear witness to the transformative power of God's love working through us. May we seek to embody the essence of God's love in our daily lives, extending grace, forgiveness, and compassion to all those we encounter. Let us embrace the profound truth that loving one another as God loves us begins with a deep and abiding love for ourselves, fostering a ripple effect of kindness and unity in our communities. Embrace God's love within your heart, and let it illuminate the world around you with its radiant beauty. You are worthy. You are loved. And in the words of 1 Corinthians 13:13, "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love." May you walk in the light of God's love, sharing its boundless grace with all whom you meet. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?
