Right Kind Of Love John 13:34 #Nightlight #RTTBROS


Right Kind Of Love
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” - John 13:34 (KJV)

According to Greek mythology, a sculptor named Pygmalion created an ivory statue of a woman who was so perfect and beautiful that he fell in love with her. In his mind, no living woman could compare to the statue he had crafted. Finally Venus, the goddess of love, brought the statue to life so that Pygmalion could marry the love of his life. Of course we know there is no truth to that ancient fable, yet at the same time it demonstrates a principle that underlies a serious problem in many relationships

My friend, have you ever felt like the person you love just doesn't measure up? That nagging feeling that if only they were a little more patient, a little more thoughtful, a little more perfect, then you could truly love them? I know those thoughts have crossed my mind before too.

But here's the truth: True love isn't about finding a flawless partner. It's about seeing past the flaws and cherishing the person for who they are. The kindest, most Christ-like love accepts people as they are.

So today, I encourage you to look at your loved ones through eyes of grace. Focus on their strengths, not their weaknesses. Choose to see the good in them. Decide to be patient and forgiving, just as God is with you. The more you practice this, the more your love will grow.

The world promotes a distorted view of romance, but as Christians we're called to a higher standard. We don't just love the lovely. We reflect the love of Jesus by loving people unconditionally.

So let's make that our aim today and every day. Rather than judging our loved ones, let's enjoy and appreciate them. Instead of wishing they were perfect, let's be grateful for the unique gifts they bring into our lives. This is the kind of love that builds strong relationships and brings joy.

May God bless you richly as you love others with His grace and compassion!
