You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart.
- 1 John 4:7-8 NIV
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. - 1 John 4:11 NIV
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. - 1 John 4:19-21 NIV
We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

I really appreciated finding the Bible verses on Love! That is my great struggle-not only in this time of Lent, but every day. I am easily irritated by the inane comments by many others, and the lack of direction in so many people………….I’m asking the Lord to be with me in seeing the better part of each one I come in contact with EACH DAY. Thank you for your lovely ‘work’.
Alice, I do understand the struggle! I’m glad that we don’t have to love others in our own strength, but God can help us to love them as He does! I sure need that help sometimes 🙂
