Our Love Checklist

Matthew 22:37-40
Jesus said; Love the Lord God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. (38) This is the first and greatest commandment. (39) And the second is like it; " Love your neighbor as yourself. (40) All the Law and the prophets hang on these two commandments.

Did you know that in the Bible that Love is spoken about 681 times from the Old to the New Testament? I believe that with this many references that it isn't just a suggestion of what we should do, 
but it is how we are to live in every part of our lives. 

We Love because He first Loved us-1 John 4:19

Love is an action word. 
Let us not Love with words or tongue but in actions and in truth- 1 John 3:18

We are called to a Love walk.
Love one another deeply from the heart-1 Peter 1:22

Love will make you known as a follower of Christ.
By this everyone will know 
that you are my disciples if you love one another- John 13:35

The one garment you should be putting on everyday is Love.
Of all the virtues put on Love. 
Colossians 3:14

Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 13:8 

If you want to live in the will of God and have a powerful life in Him, you must Love. There is simply no way around the command to Love. Please take this message of Love to heart and really seek God to Love. Ask Him to fill you with His Love so you may pour out from the inside out to Love others. To Love is the greatest commandment-so make it a decision to Love, nothing in your life will flow right without Love. I personally have decided that since Jesus said it, and its the most important I will go to Love school. I have been on a journey of Love since moving from Miami in 2013. I was unpacking after our move and I noticed I had so many things that say "Love" on them. I had a wow moment and said I want to know how to Love the way God wants me to Love. It truly has been an amazing Love ride. I'm a work in progress as you will be too, this is a journey of Love, 
to live a life of Love not a destination. 

I complied a "Our Love Check List" 
based on 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 and created a list. 
This list below will help you in your Love walk. 
Ask yourself these things in question formats.
Am I long suffering/patience in this situation?
Am I kind?
Am I jealous?
You get the point...
 As you commit to God to Love Him and others
continue asking yourself these questions in 
all life situations on this journey to Love.

I believe in you Beloved. 
You are Loved by the creator of Heaven and earth-
in His image-therefore..

YOU WERE MADE TO LOVE


And remember what God commands He will equip you to do.
