What does love look like?
What would it look like for me on a daily basis to live a life of love?
It would be more giving of myself in the name of Jesus- time, wants, energy, and money.
1. Cut spending.
2. Say hi to the neighbors.
3. More prayer.
4. Get rid of cable.
5. Give more than 10% to the church.
6. More patience with my class.
7. Pray for and love the unlovable.
Well, here's a start.
The King will answer and say to them, "Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me."
Matthew 25:40
For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God." So then each of us will give an account of himself to God."
Romans 14:10-12
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

Love
Life without God is meaningless.
Over the last few months, I have been falling in love with Jesus. His love is the whole reason for our existence. Everything we do should bring glory and honor to Him.
I am reading a book called "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan (highly recommended!) that is inspiring, challenging, and convicting. In a real, straight-forward, and (most importantly) biblical way, he explains how our response should be to the One who gave us life. The One who sent His son to die on the cross for our sins that we may have life to the fullest. Faith IS love and action.
Chan writes, "Following Christ isn't something that can be done halfheartedly or on the side. It is not a label we can display when it is useful. It must be central to everything we do and are."
"Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." James 2:17
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." Matthew 7:21
Being a Christian means whole-hearted commitment to serving and loving God first and following his commands, along with the willingness to give up everything in pursuit of a holy calling. God brings true peace, joy, purpose, hope, and satisfaction to those who seek Him with all their hearts.
I am nothing without the love of Christ. My prayer is to do the will of God...whatever the cost.
