“We know what real love is because Jesus gave
up his life for us…” - 1 John 3 16
CAN we live truly unselfish lives in which others
matter more to us than we do? Jesus did. He died so that we could be saved and
gave a new commandment - “love each
other, just as I have loved you”. But where are on earth do we start?
Clearly, we don’t love “everybody” enough to die for them. Simply put, we
should beware of being ruled by self-love, and become more aware of the needs
of others. We all need love, to give it, and to receive it. And the reason God
put love in our hearts is so that we can help Him reach out to “our brothers and sisters.” If we find
that tough, He will help us with the experience of His love and with the deep gratification
that comes from knowing you have done His will.
