A SIMPLE BUT BASIC COMMAND: LOVE ONE ANOTHER ❤️

1 John 3:11 New King James Version
11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUS MY DEAR FRIENDS!!!

Have you guys ever come across a term that you never understood, and then while reading scripture and a devotional, you find out what it means? That happened to me today, and I'm really grateful for it. I got to learn today what the term Maundy Thursday meant. I'm imagining that it's a Protestant and possibly Catholic thing, but I was really grateful for how Amy Boucher Pye explained it because I never knew what it meant until now. I was also reminded through this morning's devotional, as well as this morning scripture, of what it means to reach out to others with care, affirmation, love, and grace. Reminded of the simple but new command that God gave us to love one another, and how to put that into practice in our daily lives.

I think that's why these questions from this morning's devotional, not only are getting me to think, but challenging my heart, especially examining how I can embody true servant leadership. Please check these questions out for yourself and see what I mean.

How have you observed or embodied servant leadership?

Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that I learned not just from this morning's passage of scripture, but on others as to what it means to “love one another”, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you encourages, challenges, motivates, and convicts you to want to follow that simple basic command of Christ. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn more about that simple but basic command: to love one another! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it truly challenges you to want to follow this basic, but simple command.

In what ways could you “love one another” today?

I want to challenge you to think of ways in which you can reach out to those who are different from you and do it. I pray that you will never limit or restrict God’s plan of Salvation, because of ANY hidden prejudices, hatred, or apathy that you might have for the lost. Don't let your personal biases, prejudices, fears, or anything else get in the way of not only sharing the gospel with lost souls who were of a different skin color, race, religion, or lifestyle, but also in getting to know people who are of a different background from you. Take time to get to know individuals who you think are “different” from you and watch how a friendship will develop! Don't be afraid to follow that simple command to love one another! https://www.ccphilly.org/do-you-know-.

UNTIL FRIDAY:

HAVE A TRANQUIL, SWEET, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
