HOW MUCH

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

John 15:13

King James Version

We say that we love one another but how much do we love each other?  We may never have to die for someone but there are other ways we can show our love to one another.  When we go out to eat, do we insist on always going to our favorite restaurant or do we ask them where they would like to go?

Do we love enough to send emails and call people even when we are busy and it is not convenient for us to do these things?  Are we willing to make time for our family and for our friends?  We don’t know what is going on in their heart.  We only know what they tell us.  They may have a smile but they are crying on the inside.

May God help us to love one another unconditionally and forgive each other if someone hurts us.  Remember, Jesus died for us when we were sinners.  Are we willing to put others ahead of ourselves even when we are busy?
