Love Others

 Love perhaps is one of the most misused and misunderstood words of all time. The first thing that rushes to our minds when love is mentioned is a romantic relationship involving two people. But is that the only definition of love? Surely no.

Love is deeper than romance, it is a feeling of deep affection for somebody. Many in loving have limited themselves to a few people, mostly family and friends, while there are one million and one people around who need to be loved. I look around me and I see handicapped people, who are blind, deaf and dumb, lame, I also see orphans with nobody to care for them, people who find it hard to feed and clothe their selves and neighbours who need to be cared for.

In my own view, these are the people that need our love most. Love here demands very little from us, it might just mean visiting a neighbour and talking over issues bordering him or her, or providing food or clothing for a handicapped or someone in need, or speaking up for the oppressed or a widow.

Maybe you don't see reason to do any of these, but remember There was no reason for Jesus to love you a sinner who wanted nothing but Jesus' death but he went ahead to die so you could live. Also remember what the bible says in John 13:34-35

34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (NIV)

Therefore, my dear reader even if there is no reason to love that person near you, reflect on what Jesus did for you and for me, and you will see a worthy reason to love. As you love others, other people will find reasons to love you.

Love someone today!

Have a nice day
