Choose to love.

Choose to love.

“Owe no man any thing, but to love one another …” Romans 13:8a

A great Prophet of God in America died and went to heaven and when he got to heaven, he said the Lord asked him one question, “Have you learnt to love?” So when he came back to life, one thing he always said and asked people was, “Have you learnt to love?” The reality is that you cannot truly love as you ought to unless you know what love really is.

If you ask some persons what love is, they will say love is a feeling. Love is more than a feeling, love is a choice. The Bible says in 1 John 4:7a “Beloved, let us love one another …” The word 'let' in the verse above is a permissive word, this shows us that we choose to love. This is why it is important for us to learn how to love God's way.

Choose to love unconditionally because loving God's way is the cure for all the ills in the society and the world. This is why from the time a child is born, love becomes a great necessity for the well being of that child. Therefore, when you bring a child into this world, it is important to love that child unconditionally. The reason why some children become vulnerable to the negative vices in society is because of the absence of God's unconditional love expressed towards them in their formative years. Love is what makes us secure, therefore love is a debt we owe to all men.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I receive grace today to love all men with the love of Christ fervently, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
