Let all that you do be done in love.

“Let all that you do be done in love”

This bar is so very high. To strive to fulfill this command. To consider everything we do by this directive. Every thought we think, every motion of our wills, every longing of our hearts. Let all that be done in love. When someone insults us, or passes judgement on us. Or finds this or that fault in us, whether it is real or perceived. Do we wish only good and love on them? Do we hope all good things towards them.

Let all be done in love.

When we pass judgement on a person, is it in love? When we have a difference of opinion, do we prefer our brothers over ourselves? Do we take the lowest and most humblest spot and trust God in the situation? Do we give up our ways and wishes, for those that Christ died for.

1 Corinthians 13:6 (NASB)
Love~~~~does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

Do we rejoice in righteousness? Do we long for the truth to be manifested in all things?

Is love for all people, that which our hearts long after.

Let all be done in love.

Is this our hearts desire? This bar is so very high. But God has promised to make this heart, our hearts. Oh, that this would be a living reality in our lives. That today we might love a little more than yesterday and tomorrow even more than today.

So that this command to;

“Let all that you do be done in love”

Would be true in our hearts. That our hearts would crave after that it would be true.

Love, truth, righteousness.

Pursuing these things, in all we do, produces the fruit of such, which is joy and a peace that passes all understanding.

To give up ourselves to pursue love, righteousness and all good things in all circumstances and situations. To have a heart that would crave after such things and only such things.

To love God with all our hearts and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

To not favor the poor man or the rich man but to show love and righteousness to all.

For God is love, let us pursue love in all things, so we are pursuing God in all things.

Blessings,

Much love in Christ, Not me

Wonderful post!

I think what James said applies especially here. Trails and temptations perfect endurance. When you encounter various types of insults to your character, your intelligence, your person, it can take some getting used to, just like when a runner gets used to having to endure running a certain distance. But over time you grow accustomed to enduring that amount of trial, and are ready to take on even greater tests. Eventually, or so James implies, you can get to the place of perfecting your endurance. I wouldn't know yet, but I do know I'm improving, and building greater endurance all the time.

Blessings in Christ, and that was a pleasure to read!

Thanks so much for the encouragement.

It is so true we are all in a state of growth. But the good and great thing is, we are in a state of growth, and growing is the answer, the hope, the goal. I believe as long as we stay willing before our God, He will perfect that which concerns us.

So to Him be all things.

Blessings,

Much love in Christ, Not me

Walking in the Spirit is walking in love, for God is love.

Much love!

Works for me! :)

Blessings, that this would be so true in all our lives, as scripture says “they will know us by our love”

Amen, Let everything be done in Love, and Let all things be done decently and in order. 1 Corinthians 14:40 But everything must be done in a proper and orderly manner.
