Verse of the Week…

Are you up to the challenge to love like Jesus? I know in myself, I am not, except that He gets ahold of my heart, intent, motives and attitude. It’s important to know what His Word says, and to commit to having the mind of Christ and surrender the ways of the natural, sinful man for His ways. Living with His perspective makes each of us happier, more joyful and more productive people for the Kingdom of God. It’s important to ask the Lord frequently to help us see people through the lens of His loving eyes, rather than with human eyes. Human perspective can be blurred by feelings and insecurities; it can be critical, competitive, judgmental and anything but loving. I have to wonder what HE truly sees through His eyes of love? What would we see through His eyes?? I’m not 100% sure, but I’m thinking He sees that our greatest need is for more of Him and less of us, that we each have a story, a history, and a truckload of needs, baggage, brokenness and burdens. He sees each work in progress, knowing where we started and knowing even better where He wants to take us. We are unfinished Masterpieces in the Masters hands. Oh, to see everyone we meet with this kind of vision…ever so much that we could truly love our enemies as HE loves them…as HE loves US! That is the true measure of loving like Jesus. ❣️✝️🥰🙌🏻🌷

  1. Thank you so much, Ana! I deeply appreciate your kind and encouraging words. Lately, I have simply been praying for the Mind of Christ. Though I know I fall short, I also trust HE is able to empower each of us to love as needed in the lives of others because HE is faithful. When I am weak, thankfully HE is strong! 🙌🏻✝️♥️

  2. This was rare testimony in the genuine spirit of this Master! There was nothing in your words that was not of love ~ and nothing in his teachings that was not of love, either.

    Almost always we receive that love mixed with all the impurities of its little and large opposites, which all boil down to the opposite of love, or, to call it by its true name: hatred.

    Good for you! You go! 👏👏👏

  3. Amen!!
    I my mirror o my bathroom o have taped up many verses and things about the Lord. One day when our son was visiting he told me if I put anymore stuff on the mirror I would not be able to see myself. I told him that’s the point! 🙌❤️🙏🏻

  5. How my heart wants to love like Jesus. Since I fail at this at times I use His love for me to motivate me to love others. The more I see the sinfulness in more the more I must focus on His love for me.
