WALK IN LOVE

 
Philippians 1:9


"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight." NIV


"And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment." KJV


Walking the Christian path is a great exercise of love and forgiveness. If we are walking in Christ's footsteps, then we will accept His love and forgiveness and we will be sharing that same love and forgiveness with our family, our friends, and everyone we meet. That is how our love will grow and abound, bearing fruit for His kingdom. If we hoard love and forgiveness, we will spiritually stagnate. If we give freely as He did, then our love will abound more and more, increasing our knowledge and spiritual insight.


Heavenly Father, forgive us for those times we have failed to show your love and forgiveness because we felt the other one did not deserve it or because they did not seem sorry. We know that our spiritual life is hindered with selfish love and unforgiveness in our hearts. Give us a burning desire to share the boundless love and mercy You have shown to us. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

These are lovely words of wisdom and I like to feel that everyone I meet benefits in some way from my faith and belief in the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.

He wants us to be a conduit of all the good things He gives to us. Excellent words here.

Love and forgiveness; God's priorities and ours too.
