A Proverb
“Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.”
Proverbs 3:3,4.
Is love at the centre of your life? Do your actions reflect the kind of love you have in your heart?
Some one once told me there are two kinds of love. Conditional and unconditional.
I don’t believe there is any such thing as conditional love. Especially if you are a Christian. True love has no conditions attached.
The apostle Paul wrote,
Martin Luther King jr. said,
“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jesus realized this, that’s why His call was to love God, our neighbour, and even our enemy.
As Christians we are told by Jesus to love unconditionally. That is the only way we will win a lost and dying world to Christ.
The apostle Paul writes,
Does the above scriptures reflect your life?
Do you love in accordance with what the apostle Paul said?
Please think about it.

The apostle Paul wrote,
“Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails....
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.”

The apostle Paul writes,
“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”
Romans 12:9-18.Does the above scriptures reflect your life?
