I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received commandment to do from the Father. Now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
2 John 4‭-‬6 NASB

God of abounding love who loves Your creation so much You command us to love, to experience true, pure love. I ask forgiveness for not loving as Jesus love(d)s. The old commandment is the word which we heard from the beginning and new each day. For this is the love of God, that we keep Your commandments and they are not burdensome. Love poured out on us for our good, our pleasure, our joy, our fulfillment in life to Your glory. Keeping Your word, the commandment to love is perfected in us. And in our obedience to love one another, we are a testimony to the world. How deprived we are when we don’t walk in Your commandments — we miss experiencing Your abounding love. I pray Lord that I will abide in Your word, so I will also abide in the Son and the Father and walk in truth. Glory to Your name for this gift of abounding love. Help me to share it in Jesus name, amen.

🌹Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:7‭, 11
