Good morning all. A great message on unconditional love and a prayer for us on this day. Have a safe and blessed day.

On the night before Jesus died, He was in the upper room with His disciples expressing His love for them. He washed their feet, spoke words of life and wisdom, and showed the ultimate picture of unconditional love. That evening, He shared one of the most important commandments found in John 13:34. He said, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another." What do you think of when you hear the word love? What about when you think of God's love? In 1 Corinthians 13, we're given an outline of real, God-given love. This kind of love is deeper than any emotion or a physical act. It says; "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." Isn't it amazing? That was the exact kind of love that Jesus demonstrated on the Cross as He gave Himself as a sacrifice so that we might forever live with Him in heaven. As you begin your day, ask God to show you how to love those around you, just as He has loved you.
Prayer
Lord, You are the ultimate example of love. While I was a sinner, You paid the ultimate price on the Cross because Your love for ME is so deep. I don't deserve it, but You still give it freely. I receive Your love. Help me to love others the way that You have loved me. Teach me how to walk in unconditional love. Lord, I want Your love to shine through me like never before. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
