Throughout history, even people who didn’t believe Jesus was the son of God would agree that he was an amazing teacher, and lover of people. As true followers of Christ we constantly try to teach ourselves to be like him in this way… Lovers of people, all people. Sadly, this is also the area we fail miserably.
Today we talk about how to overcome the obstacles we naturally face when we’re trying to grow in our ability to love other people.
Like that really old song your grandma likes… “ what the world needs now is love”
By Hal Davis
Or
“All you need is love” by John Lennon and countless other songs hoping to get the message across.
People have observed our world is in desperate need of more love. Ultimately our Creator God wants us to love each other too.
Check out these words from the book of 1Corinthians
13 :1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecyand can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b]but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails.
God sent Jesus in love for us.
So come check out the conversation , we hope you’ll grow with us.
