Love knows no boundaries, no color, no shades; love is love, and love loves at all times. Jesus loves us without prejudice. He loved us while we were still sinners; that's love. Jesus was a friend to the friendless. He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
Jesus said love each other as I have loved you. That is a tall order for us to walk out. Truth is, we don't like most people for many reasons. They don't like us; they are black, white, purple, and blue and don't fit our status and lifestyle.
Love does not boast, it is not selfish. It is not self-seeking. Love sees others. It is said that people die of a lack of friendships and relationships. They develop sicknesses like high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic sicknesses and diseases, cancer, and stress-related sicknesses because they lack relationships. I wonder if when Jesus says love each other as I loved you he was simply saying be a friend to someone else, and in doing so we help them to live a full life instead of one that is filled with loneliness and isolation.
God cares for those who are friendless, do you?
This is what Jesus wanted; my command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Be a friend, others need your friendship... their life might depend on it. Family, love is God, God is love, and we represent and reflect God on earth. Let us love like he loved. Be a friend; by loving others you show love to God.
Challenge:
Look outside yourself today, see someone else, and be a friend. Jesus is counting on you; you're the answer to someone's prayer. Don't be afraid; you've got what it takes to be a friend to the friendless.
