Love one another
Today's word: John 15:9-17
9"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. 11I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command. 15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. 17This is my command: Love each other.
How about you?
Has someone hurt you? God loves you and has graciously forgiven you. Will you love and forgive as He does? Be willing to overlook differences of opinion. Be telorant of different ways of thinking. Love others as God has commanded.
To memorize: 1 Peter 4:8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins

Hey, i just shared this bit of scripture not too long in powerhouse when i was sharing on friendship. Cool! ;)
Hey, something else caught my eye in this devotion. That God has chose us. Not we chose Him. ANd He had a reason to chose us - so that we GO OUT AND BEAR FRUIT - and the fruit must last some more.
So get moving people!!! Be fruitful
