The standard is breathtaking: “as I have loved you.” Not as they deserve, not when convenient — as Christ loved, sacrificially and first. This kind of love is the badge of discipleship; Jesus said the world would recognize His followers by it. Who is the difficult person God has placed in your life? Love them today in one concrete, Christlike act.
Love One Another
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Jesus, You loved me sacrificially. Fill me with Your love for others, especially those who are hard to love. Amen.
