I HAVE 50 BLOGS ON MY PAGE SO I WILL POST IT HERE FOR YOU. GOD BLESS, IN THE LOVE OF JESUS, BOB
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LOVE GOD AND TO LOVE OTHERS?
One of the scribes came and heard them arguing, and recognizing that He had answered them well, asked Him, “What commandment is the foremost of all?”
Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD; AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.’
“The second is this, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE ( agapao ) YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” ( Mark 12:28-31 )
I want to ask a question; What does it mean to love God, and what does it mean to love your neighbor as yourself ?
Are we loving God by going to church every Sunday? Are we loving Him by doing "religious" acts? Are we loving Him by raising our hands in church...by teaching Bible studies...by praying faithfully... by writing books?
What does it mean, then, to really love God?
“And He said to him, YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ “This is the great and foremost commandment. “The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” ( Matthew 22:37-39)
The Greek word for "love" used in this first commandment is the verb agapao.
To "agapao" something means to; totally give ourselves over to it; to be totally consumed with it; or, to be totally committed to it.
What we agapao is what we put first in our lives. All our intentions and abilities are focused and consumed with this one thing.
In other words, agapao is a commitment or a binding of ourselves to something, so that we become "one" with it.
"Beloved, let us love (agapao ) one another; for Love (agape ) is of God, and everyone that loves is born of God, and knows God. He that loves (agapao ) not, knows not God; for God is love (Agape)."
( 1 John 4:7-8)
Notice the 2 words for Love used in the above verse.
Agape love is a noun and is never used in a negative way. Agape is God's pure unconditional Love and it's always used as such in the Bible.
Agapao is a verb and was commonly used and meant what you put first in your life.
This God kind of love is born in us when we commit ourselves to LORD, and receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior. This love is a committed love, a devoted love, a love that we will we will lay down our lives for, and is something to commit ourselves too, and is a love that will not fail, or end.
If this God kind of love is born in us when we are born again, then we will have an ability to love one another.
Romans 5:5 says; “and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”
The Gk puts it like this, “the love of God gush forth, is pour out, is shed, is spill out within our hearts.”
The Holy Spirit is administrating the pouring out of the love of God in our hearts. He is giving us a wonderful gift, the ability to love like God, and love others.
It is at this point that we are able to commit our selves to love God and to love others. We are able to obey God and submit to His will. We are also able to love our neighbors, or as the Gk says; “to love those who are near,” which are our Christian friends, our families, our spouses, Children, etc.
Can you see why the Word says that loving God, and loving others fulfills all the law.
If you love ( agapao) God and others, then you will obey the commands not to have any other god's in our lives like money or any other idols. When we put God and others first in our life, and are committed to love, then we will not use the name of the LORD our God carelessly or in vain. We will Remember the day of worship by observing it as a holy day.
We will Honor our father and your mother. We will not become bitter and hateful which leads to murder. We will not commit adultery in our heart by lusting or actually engaging in a adulterous relationship. We will not steal, we will not lie, or covet. ( see Exodus 20 )
Notice that all the command deal with relationships, Loving God, and loving others.
If we love God and others, then our lives will be radically changed.
So today let us examine our hearts to make sure that we are totally committed to love God and to love one another. We have all the help we need through the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish this.
PRAYER Father God thank you that you love us, and that your wonderful love has been poured out in our hearts. We know that we can never keep your commands perfectly, but you have given us a supernatural ability to love you, and to love one another. We have this desire to live a life that is pleasing to you, so Father we ask in Jesus name that you would help us to commit ourselves to loving others as you have loved us. Show us if we have anything in our hearts that is displeasing to you and help us to obey your commandments to love you and to love others. In Jesus name amen.
Dear Brother, I heard some one say, When we forgive some one, it is us giving up our right to refuse to love the the other person.
When we refuse to love, then we are disobeying the command of the Lord.
We take comunion on a regular basis to make sure we are not holding unforgiveness.
Brother continue to allow the lord to Teach you about love. Please read my Blog post also; Loving God, and loving people on my page

My daughter is graduating from high school in June also. I seems like she was just a little girl the other day.
We are heading into our summer now, but here in Vermont we have 4 seasons, winter spring, summer, fall, but our summers are short from June to September. We have hot spells but not drought. I live in the mountains not far from a small city of 20,000.

I happy you have a family..i pray for my relationship for my son to be returned to me quickly...No I have no intrest in my ex-wife other than I love her as the mother of my child.
Life is a temporary assignment if we experience difficulty, sorrow, and rejection dont worry because this world is not our ulitimate home, GOD reserved PARADISE for us.
“[A Brother Who Sins Against You] "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.”- Matthew 18:15

Which Way to Heaven?
Reverend Billy Graham tells of a time early in his ministry when he arrived in a small town to preach a sermon. Wanting to mail a letter, he asked a young boy where the post office was. When the boy had told him, Dr. Graham thanked him and said, "If you'll come to the Baptist Church this evening, you can hear me telling everyone how to get to heaven."
The boy replied, "I don't think I'll be there... You don't even know your way to the post office."
