God's Love

"As I look in Daily Light today I read - "Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being." 1 Cor. 10:24...Ummnn?.. and then I turn my desk calendar and find this quote
"God has called us into the joyous journey of giving His love away to others." (Don Lessin)
I don't know about you but some days, I have to admit, I'd rather keep His love to myself.
Maybe the person the Lord has put in my path -
......doesn't really like me (and I know it)
......is desheveled and dirty
......is usually very difficult to communicate with
or
Maybe when I "fell out" of bed today -
......every arthritic joint in my body decided to ache - at the same time
......my mind was foggy due to inability to sleep last night
......an overcommitted schedule threatens my peace
It's at those times I need to "camp" on 1 Cor. 10:24 and this quote as well as Jesus' commands to .."love one another". It isn't about if I feel like it....nor whether I'm comfortable, nor whether I'd rather keep His love, just for me...no. 1 John 4:21 reminds me that...."And we have this command from Him: the one who loves God must also love his brother."
Let's lavish His love on those we encounter today! It's my prayer
Because Jesus lives,
Judy
