Title: How much love do you love ..... ?

No one has greater love [no one has shown stronger affection] than to lay down (give up) his own life for his friends. John 15:13 AMPC.

Devotion: In my practice I have seen so many people on sick bed if you ask the relatives to donate they'll simply tell you we don't want two persons to die, we prefer to buy. This just shows the extent of love for the person.

  Meanwhile we Africans express our emotions physically some by crying, jumping or outright collapsing and turning on the ground when we lose someone we loved. The wives and children are mostly uncontrollable especially when they lived together and loved each other.

 While the burial right was on at the grave side we pretend as if we will jump into the grave with the dead person alas, few minutes after the grave is covered with sand, the dead person is forgotten. We move on to eating, drinking and dancing. The love for the person ends there.

  From the passage quoted above we know the extent of Jesus' love for you and me, Everlasting Love and this is even while we were sinners. He layed down his life for us. How much do we love even the closest members of our family? I am not talking of total strangers but breathren in Christ and those who are not our breathren? How much love do we radiate to them?  

  Dear readers, let's think of it today - how much love do we love others? Let us love by giving them from our substance, time to evangelise, assist the old person in our neighborhood? We can go as far as give up our job and embark on foreign mission in the jungles of the world where people have not heard of Jesus?

  Do you have any testimony or concerns, share it with us. Hallelujah.
