LOVE ONE TO ANOTHER

-
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 13:34-35 KJV

LOVE ONE TO ANOTHER.
The Lord brought us a new commandment, excerpts of the old, the Ten commandments. After the Ten were compressed into two - Hear, the Lord your God is one, love Him with all your heart, all your soul and all your strength; the second is like it - love your neighbour "in place of" yourself, Lord Jesus proceeded to chipping these two commandments into one, which is Love - love one to another!

Love one to another is a "new" commandment, though it has always been with us, had always been there but unread and unnoticed. "There's nothing really new under heaven", the Ecclesiastes said and continued saying, "What had been before will be again, that history merely repeats itself." And in factual truth, it is our perception of a new understanding that makes things new, even singing a new Song! The new song is the new you, singing!

Every day as the morning breaks with new mercies and freshness from God, everything with you ought be new and refreshed - spirit, soul and body! The newness of our spirit and renewing of our mind is required for us to have new things happen or break out for us. A lightened, forgiving, forgiven spirit bearing light is what's needful for the freshness we always anticipate in life, that brings us joy, hope and happiness.

Plainly, the new commandment isn't entirely new one but a fresh understanding of what God has been saying from genesis! Sometimes, it is called the "eternal law" - that which had been before the beginning and will ever be, even after the ending. Every day after day, night after night speak of the very wonders of God, sharing knowledge with whosoever desires to gain understanding, though without words. In a way, God never stops speaking. But do you hear anything?

Jesus Christ gave us synopsis of the whole Scripture - have love one for another. It is not just "love for another" that God requires but "love one for another." This means, love has to be spread wide, not a reciprocal kind of love, where you give love only to those around, whom you know and are acquainted or those giving to you, but everybody! The bane of love is not giving at all, giving "really" without thoughts of receiving back. Ordinarily, you'd love but not with the same fervency with those you know 'well-well'?? Oh friend, that is not the new commandment!

Instead, have love one for another. Let love grow. Allow love increase. Spread love wide. You give me, I gift another or I gift you, you give another. This is the sign that you're a disciple of Jesus, when you love strangers and entertain them - those you don't even know or may never remember you, so much as to pay you back! The Lord says, "Don't hoard your love, limit or reduce it to within, those you know but give same love to those that may never see you again." Com'on, be an angel! And be angelic in your all show of love and giving. Always disappear! Be general. No limits, no restrictions! Love all, doubting nothing. Peace!

Ref: Exo 20:1-17, Ps 19:1-4, Lam 3:22-23, Mark 12:29-31, 1John 3:11 et al.

Ten Words At Calvary.mp3 audio download HEBREWS 1:1-14 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,  2  has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.  3  His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,  4 having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.  5  For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?” 6  When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”  7  Of the angels he sa...

Do not turn to the right or the left, remove your foot from evil. Proverbs 4:27 NKJV Day 4, Right Or Left.mp3 DAY 4, RIGHT OR LEFT The Lord gave a similar command or statement when He was commissioning Joshua. Jos 1:7 says, " Only be strong and very courageous that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you, do not turn from it to the right hand or the left, that you may prosper wherever you go ". Doing the will of God, the righteousness of God is not about the rights or wrongs, not turning the left or the right but simply doing the will of the Father. Isaiah 30:21 says, " Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left" . Following God is not about having a set of rules of dos and don'ts or ever and never or living anyhow thinking the grace of God is always available but following His voice - voice leading. An...
