Psalm of the day

Psalm 119:1-8
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

What does it mean to love one another?

Have you ever had someone that you just did not think you could love? Someone who always got on your nerves? Or who was always annoying you, and you just could not love them? Well I am here to tell you that it is possible to love even the person in your life that you think is totally unlovable.

1 John 4:7-12
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
 8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
 9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
 10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
 11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
 12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us

This passage show us all about God's unconditional love for us. It tells us that in order to truly know the Lord we must be willing to love others in our lives. Just think about it: if God can love even the worst of sinners, why can't we be able to love the person in our life that is the hardest to love?

There are 5 reasons why we should love one another...
1. Love is the nature of God.
Everything the Lord does for us is touched by His love. He died on the cross for our sins because He loves us. He always forgives our wrongs because we are His children and He loves us SO much.  Even the trials He puts in our lives is touched by His love. He challenges us because He loves us and wants us to know His full unconditional love. God's love is also receive by action. The only way we can receive His love is if we accept it. God's love is free but we have to be willing to give up our sinful ways and fully commit our lives to Him. So in order to truly love someone we must follow God's example. We have to be willing to love the person no matter what they do to us. A true believer shows kindness and love to those they would naturally dislike. Also, a true believer takes no delight in negative remarks about God's people. So as we can see, God gives the perfect example of how to love even the the hardest person. All we have to do is choose to follow it.
