33: How can we really love others?

I’ve spent the last few episodes considering God’s love, and today I turn it around to consider our love for each other. The Bible says that because God loves us, we are able to share that love with the people in our lives. Jesus said this in Matthew 22: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. And you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” We all know how hard that really is. Loving people as God expects is only possible because God loved us first. We are to take God’s love for us and share that same love with others. John said it like this: “Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”
