Love for one Another

John 13:34-35 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved , that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

This scripture brings to mind a believer's responsibility to love. Loving people is not always easy but it is best. Christ gives us a litmus test that proves whether or not we are His disciples. We must have love for one another. The key point is being able to get that love to one another. It can be in a kind gesture, a favor, a blessing. These things are easy to do for those who have your affections. What about those who do not? Take the president for example, do you love him? Some would say yes and others would say no. Though I do not agree with most of the things the president of the United States says or does, I must have love for him as a disciple of Jesus the Christ. Though many of us will never meet the president, how can we have love for him? Prayer is one of the most important aspect of our Christian walk. The bible commands us to pray for our leaders. Most people cannot however pray for someone they despise or hate. Yet, Christ has laid it out for us. Give the love I have given to you to those around you, because this will speak as to whether or not you are listening and following God. Just something to think about. So the next time George Bush or any president for that matter says or does something you do not like, I highly suggest that you pray and not just despise the man.
