::All You Need is Love::

'By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another'-Jesus (john 13:35)

There are so many variables that cross our paths as we go about our days, trying to do everything right, and yet having to face the facts that we just can't be perfect. In fact, the more we learn it seems, the less we really know! For me this principle has especially been applied in the area of trying to live a life pleasing to GOD. I try and try and yet find myself still falling. What if I said that the Bible teaches that GOD's children need to focus more on being, rather than doing. Be who you already are as a new creation in Christ. When we try to do, is it out of an obligation or an overflow of who we are? If you are a child of GOD, then you are literally a NEW CREATION! Made anew in the likeness of a son or daughter who is no longer under the law of sin and death but under the law of the Spirit of life! If we try to do somehow to obtain merit and acceptance from GOD and people, then we will inevitably find ourselves unable to accomplish what is right. However, if we allow GOD to do the work in and through us, as His children and just BE who we are in Him, the result can only be the genuine love that overflows from Him to us and through Him in us to the ends of the earth. 

Galatians 5:14 "...serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
