Put On Love

1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Colossians 3:14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

My focus is on love today. It seems so simple, doesn't it? And yet we struggle.  What does it look like to "put on love"?  It's not easy, and it takes the mind and heart of Christ to do it at any level.  We are called to love others in any and all circumstances, to show the love of Christ to all people.  It's hard when we have different view points, and there are lots of different view points these days.  Jobs, laws, policies, politics, education, social issues, religion, etc. Jeepers, even within Christianity there are many different view points...baptism, communion, church membership, women in leadership, sin, and so on.  We will never see eye to eye with every other person.  However, in Christ we can all have the same reaction to each other no matter our stance.  We can love on each other.  We can practice selfless, giving, agape love on each other.  I think it was Jesus who said, "they will know you by your love for one another," or something close to that.😊  Not, "they will know you by your opinion."  Love on each other through the help of Jesus. Find common ground in the love of Christ. And if the love of Christ is not common ground, choose to be compassionate, kind, humble, gentle and patient instead of being right.
