Love's Proof

ROM 13:10 ASV

Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.

In this season of favour, there are rules, practices and procedures that must form part of us if we are to enjoy the fullness of all that God has for us. One of such rules and practices is Love. It sounds ordinary but for a professing Christian, that is the heart of the matter of our lives. It is the life that flows inside us to others; it is the truth that this deceitful world sees and knows that we are different.

In the journey to the promised land, God gave his people sets of rules governing their relationship with many things: God, each other, animals, strangers, aliens, servants and all. In this dispensation of grace, all these laws are summarized into Love for God and love for our fellow man. It is love that makes me see the other man in danger and want to help, not minding his tribal, religious or ethnic affiliations. Watch the wordings of the verse above, it mentioned 'neighbour' , as we know, Christ has defined that as 'anyone' that is beside you, needing your help. All of our mouth-professing as Christians would only make sense when we live out the rules laid down for us.

As we go out today, consider that Love brought you into the privileged place you occupy now. It is because we were shown love that we have the capacity to replicate it in the lives of other people. May the sacrifice of Christ not be in vain in my life. His time of favour is here.

PRAYER- Lord, help me love others the way you have loved me-sacrificially. Help me see others through your eyes of love, so I can be a blessing of life to the dying world around me. Amen.
