All people are the same when it comes to
love; they feel and react to love the same
way. Love changes them. It brings
everybody to the same plane, irrespective
of the culture. There’s no culture against
love.
1 Corinthians 13:13 says, "And now abideth faith, hope,
charity, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
If you walk in love towards people, they’ll be compelled
sooner or later to respond the same way, because love
begets love. When you understand the love of God,
you’d realize that it’s the greatest power in the universe.
It goes beyond cultural divides, religious barriers, ethnic
differences, and social stratifications. The love of God
can reach anyone, and melt the hardest heart.
Train yourself to walk in love. It’s a conscious choice
you have to make; it’ll transform your life. Tell yourself,
"I’m going to walk in love, no matter what." In John
13:34, Jesus said, "A new commandment I give unto you,
that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye
also love one another." There shouldn’t be anybody you
can’t love. The love-way is the way of victory;
therefore, you must love everyone genuinely, even when
their actions aren’t deserving of love.
The Bible tells us that God demonstrated His love for
us, while we were undeserving of kindness: "But God
commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:!(https://www.nairaland.com/grid/cool.png/3).
Therefore, as His beloved children, we’re to love like
Him: "Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear
children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us,
and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice
to God for a sweet-smelling savour" (Ephesians 5:1-2).
To walk with God you’d have to love like Him. 1 John
4:7-8 says, "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is
of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and
knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for
God is love." Let your language be consistent with the
God-kind of love; let your life be the out-shining of His
love.
