Jesus
said, "This is My commandment:love
one another as I have loved
you"
John
15:12
"This is My commandment
to you : love one another".
John
15:17
Love is the very fabric
of My being. Every act of
kindness is a manifestation
of my life and of my Very
Self. And the love wherewith
you love your brother and
your friends is of Me. The
more self-giving your love
is , and sacrificial, the
more deeply does it echo
the deeper texture of My
Being. And the love which
I am and which I impart
is of the Father . Continually
and continuously flows the
stream of life-giving ,
life-restoring love, cleansed
and purified as it returns
to the Father through My
Very Self, bounding with
the dynamic of life and
energy as it flows from
the Father through Me to
His world. So the love wherewith
the love wherewith the Father's
human children love each
other is the gift of the
Father : as this gift is
accepted and used so does
it grow and become enriched.
And to lay down one's life
for one's friends - that
is to live sacrificially
, to regard Me as Friend,
to respond to My call to
serve in the Father's vineyard
of love and for love's sake
- to do all these things
- will bring about and enable
you to love your neighbours
and your friends.
Consider these things and
let the light and power
of Our Holy Spirit leas
and enable you to grow in
love more and more daily.
