The Power of LOVE!

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 John 4:7

Love...Love your neighbor! One of the Bible’s repeated command. Whether they appreciate you, or respond to your love, Jesus's command is still valid: You must show love to your neighbor in a practical way. Everyone knows it, but are we coming forward to do it. We are finding a reason to blame on something!!! 

A lady who was quite busy with cooking for her guests got tensed when her little son walked behind her so closely wherever she went. At one point, she yelled at him and pushed him badly which made him cry. He ran out as fast as he could into his bedroom and wept a lot till he slept. The lady after she finished all her work at the kitchen remembered what she did to her son. When she went into his bedroom, she found him on his bed. Then the Lord reminded her to go to the kitchen again. When she went, she saw so many beautiful flowers in various colors scattered on the floor. She came to know that the small boy followed her wherever she went just to surprise his mother with her favorite flowers. She realized how badly she hurt him without realizing his love for her. She could no longer control running to the boy. He took him into her arms. She hugged him and kissed him as if she saw him after a very long time.

Love has to be shared with those who deserve it.  A man who is 50 years now is always a kid to his old mom and dad. A child is always a child to mother's heart. Hurting others will take just a few minutes, but bringing the relationship back in track may take years. In some cases, that would never happen. Forget whatever happened in the past years. Take a time & opportunity to be kind and to show the love to others. 

Finally to gain the power of love, 

Love God

Love yourself

Love your family

Love your friends

Love your neighbors

Love your enemies

The first 4 areas ... loving most of your family and friends is very easy because of the strong, natural bonds that we have already established with them. The last 2 areas could be we never covered...! However, this can be done with the help of the kneeling on prayers. Once we start to feel the love of God Himself for some of these people, it will then become much easier! God Bless.
