THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS
Today's reading: 2 John
"Love means doing what God has commanded us, and he has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning." 2 John verse 6 NLT
While the Beetles are known for the saying, 'All you need is love', is originated with God.
His commands to love one another began back in the Old Testament.
So why do we try to do everything but love?
We try to volunteer.
We attempt to serve.
We give it a go at doing.
We offer our funds to charitable organizations.
We fill our garages and storage units with things.
But do we love?
Are we giving out our love like we are Christmas gifts?
To the ones we love--sure!
To the ones who are nice to us--of course!
To the ones who push us to our limits?
The ones who have done nothing to deserve our love?
The ones who it isn't easy at all to like, let alone love?
While you are meandering through the stores this holiday season, try giving out love.
It's what God has commanded us to do. It is desperately needed. It fits everyone. It will make your Christmas one to remember!
