"Search me, O God and know my heart, try me and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." -Psalm 139:23
Is there anyone that you do not love?
As with yesterday, I would caution you not to answer too quickly here. Is there anyone in your life that you express anything less than agape love to? This is the love that God shows you. He does not treat you as your sins deserve. He treats you as if you had never sinned. Not only that, because of Jesus, He loves you as if you have been perfectly obedient to Him all the days of your life.
Do you love your spouse the way you would if they were the perfect spouse? Do you love your children as though they were perfect children? Do you love your friends as if they have always been perfect friends? Do you love others at church as if they have been perfect Christians?
Loving others is more than just not being mean to them. It is about intentionally loving them as God would have you love them. Allow God to show you if this is true in all of your relationships.
