How many times have you caught yourself saying you “absolutely love” something? I’ve heard myself on many occasions say things like, “I love Hobby Lobby!” or ,“I LOVE a hot cup of tea!”. I’ve heard this wise adage passed around over the years, that “we should love people and like things”, and I believe it has a lot of truth to it. It is very easy to direct our ability to love towards things that shouldn’t hold that much value in our lives or say we love things with not much true emotion or thought behind it. This line of thought came to me while I was reading in Proverbs, and the scripture said to “love wisdom”. It triggered a desire in me to search out what things are of importance to God for us to direct love towards. I am still in the process of searching it out, but so far this is what I’ve uncovered to be valued things God's Word instructs us to love.
- Love the Lord your God
- Love Wisdom
- Love your neighbor as yourself
- Love righteousness
- Speak truth in love
- Love your enemies
- Husband love your wife and wife love your husband
- Love one another
May God's love be with you everyday!
Your sister in Christ and in love,
