Does God's love abide in you?

If God's love abides in you/me, it will be shown through our actions; our spirit.


God commands us to love one another, and He really means this.  Can you honestly say that you love everyone you meet?  Probably not the first thing that comes to mind in some cases, huh?  As Christians, we are to love one another; we should be desiring to please God and to serve others as Jesus served.


In addition to loving one another, we should be daily meeting with God.  We should be waking up in the morning, with God on our minds, asking, "How can I please you today God; how can I serve You?"


Yet, some of us routinely go to Church on Sunday and as soon as we leave the premises, He's not even a thought until next Sunday.  I've been there; I've neglected God; I've deserted Him.  But, thank God for His grace and mercy; He never left me, ever.


Do you know the last time you went to a church where you looked around and just knew that the people in the room really want to be there; really came there for God, just to be in His presence?  Sadly, this is hard to find in America.


Show God that His love does abide in you.  Love your neighbor as yourself.  Give to those who are in need.  Put God first in your life.


Psalm 136:26 - "Give thanks to the God of heaven, for His steadfast love endures forever."
