Seek Love & You Will Find It!

Monday's Devotion (3-1-04)

"Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I [am] the LORD." Leviticus 19:18 (KJV)

We're not supposed to seek revenge or hold grudges against other people. We are supposed to love others as we love ourselves. Sometimes that is hard, if you don't love yourself. How can you love your neighbor as yourself, if you don't love yourself? What we need to realize is that God, loves us. If God, loves us, why can't we love ourselves? Of course we mess up and do wrong, but God, who has no sin and wants no part with it, loves us through it all. We need the unconditional love of God, in our hearts. God, sent His Son, for us while we were still his enemies. So, whoever your enemies are whether your enemy is yourself or your neighbor, you need to love your enemies and others. If we hold grudges and if we hate others, we can not inherit the Kingdom Of God! The Kingdom of God, is a place filled with love, peace and joy. If people with hatred entered into God's Kingdom, then how would His Kingdom, remain peaceful? He has to remove our hatred for us to enter into His Kingdom. We need to pray for love and we need to try to love. If we're loveless than we are also hopeless. If we pray for love and seek it, we can find it! Seek love and you will find it!

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this message and for all things. Please forgive us of all our sins and we forgive those who've wronged us. Bring us close to you and put your unconditional love in our hearts and give us peace. In Jesus, name. A-men!

God bless!
