C'EST L'AMOUR!

We were created in the image-likeness of God. 

Therefore, we too have the POTENTIAL in Christ to love like God does - AGAPE LOVE. 

1 JOHN 3:11 (GNT)

The message you heard from the very beginning is this: we must love one another.

1 JOHN 4:7,12

7 - Dear friends, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Whoever loves is a child of God and knows God.

12 - No one has ever seen God, but if we love one another, God lives in union with us, and his love is made perfect in us.

If we were to take time to develop this faculty of 'LOVE' - L'amour, many areas of our daily lives would improve drastically. There is nothing quite like the love of God. It heals, it restores, it uplifts, it blesses, it makes us rich, it prospers us in every way.

Showing respect for others, authority included, is encouraged by the word of God. This reduces unnecessary conflict in our daily lives, world and affairs. 

1 PETER 2:17 (GNT)

Respect everyone, love your fellow believers, have reverence for God, and respect the Emperor. 

Service and selflessness: When we love like God commanded us, we love to be of service to others.

GALATIANS 5:13 (GNT)

As for you, my brothers, you were called to be free. But do not let this freedom become an excuse for letting your physical desires control you. Instead, let love make you serve one another.

AGAPE - Godly LOVE. How does God love us? 

PSALM 103:11 (GNT)

(11) As high as the sky is above the earth, so great is his love for those who have reverence for him.

The love of God is freely available to us.
