Before Jesus went on the cross, he gave his disciples a new commandment. To love one another, as I have loved you. Now, let's be honest. It's a hard one. I will be the first one to admit that. We might all have the right intention to love others like we love ourselves but it can be hard. People will hurt you, often without even realizing it. People will do you wrong. It is in our nature to be selfish. I mean, the world teaches us we should look out for ourselves first. But Jesus came to earth to teach us differently. We are to put others above ourselves.
For a minute, imagine how this world would be if every single one of us acted that way. If no matter who you came across, you would treat them above yourself. If you would just simply show them love like Jesus asked us to do. Wouldn't the world be a much better place? Our world is filled with selfish motives and greed. It seems to be all about money and power but in a world filled with chaos, I challenge you to show everyone you come across the love that Jesus has for this world. For his children.
Be the person that God called you to be. Set aside your own selfishness and spread love to everyone. The world is in desperate need of it. Jesus lives all inside of us. Let his love flow through you. Let his light shine out of you for the world to see.
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. John 13:35
