Love one another.

"Love one another.
He said 'love one another.'
He said 'love one another, as I have loved you.'"

Oh that children's praise song. That and "This is my commandment that you love one another, that your joy may be whole." I loved growing up with those songs. I can think of a good amount of songs that I sang in Sunday school. Okay, so loving one another. I think that THAT commandment is the most understandable yet most difficult commandment in the Bible. I know I'm not gonna murder anyone, and who wants to commit adultery? But loving is hard.

Yeah there those people who love and always will love, those whom are easy to love. But then there are those who have their wayward ways and are just SO not in tune with your lifestyle.

Sure you can be nice and do nice things for them, but does it necessarily mean you love them? I don't think so. Because I, honestly, can do nice things for people I dislike.

But I think people just need to grasp the term and just live it out on how they think love should be. It may be going on to other countries, helping and praying for those who are less fortunate. Or it could be helping someone at the groceries. I don't know, but I think love is not only a "feeling" but it's a feeling that is accompanied with action.

Take Selene, I totally love her! And because I love her, I want to show her by taking time to talk to her and hanging out... laughing as much as we do. "YOU'RE MUH BEST FRIEND!!!" But that's easy.

I think in order to truly show love towards another person is trying to see in God's eyes, which I think is TOTALLY HARD! It's something you need to pray about, having that loving heart. Because it's much easier for me to show love towards my best friend, than a drunken bum on street. Love is humbling yourself, for the other person's gain.
