John 13: 34 So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. 35 Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”

the same way God loves us is the way we are to love others... sheesh...

I remember a song from when I was a kid that said.. and they'll know we are christians by our love... at the time.. I surely had no realization of what christian love really is supposed to be.. but now.. as I see how deep the love is that God is calling us to.. I get it.. I still think it is asking way too much.. I want to give the excuse that so many people use.. saying I am only human.. I am screwed up too...

I don't think God expects us to get it right all the time.. but I think He expects us to get it closer to right each time...

Lord.. you will have to help me to love as you love.. because this job is way too big for me...
