Title: Love One Another!

-
This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
John 15:12 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.15.12.NKJV
Devotion: We hear the 4 letter word frequently and most use it without thinking it out if they really understand what it means - to love.
 Let's try to understand Jesus' love - it is intense and emotional eg His love for Lazarus(John 11:35), it is deep eg His love for John the beloved(John 13:23), it is beyond measure eg Jesus' love for you and me cannot be quantified; He cares eg He fed 5000 in the wilderness(Mark 6: 31-44). Jesus' love is selfless eg He loved till He was crucified on the cross for you and me. Jesus' love has no end - He is pleading for you and me till date, in heaven.(1John 2: 1-2)
 The kind of love described above is what Jesus prescribes for you and me, to love one another just as He loves us. To give love and importantly to love ourselves and receive love. If you give true love you'll also be loved. Amen.
NB-this is not about Romantic love but selfless love.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
