Loving or Pleasing Others

Hello Dears,

Judgement and Punishment given to those that break the law is summed up in the word "LOVE". If the offender loved his or her neighbour, he would not do anything to hurt him or her because Love never hurts. On the other hand, if the authority does not punish him and make him realise what  he has done wrong, then love loses its value  as the most important thing in the world.

However, its not just the offender that needs to walk in love. We( all of us) individually underestimate the power of influence in the way we conduct our lives. Love extends to that. If your conduct,how you behave,what you do will hurt your neighbour,then dont do it. if you do, you are not walking in love and are not different from the offender.

Our lives is not ours,what we do and say can cause others to either become better or cause them to err. No one is a bundle of Knowledge. What we know and do we learnt from someone,somewhere and somehow.
What will you then teach others? What will you be known for;Good or Bad, Love or Hate, Saint or Sinner? It is your choice. But know that inorder to overcome evil,there has to be moreeeeee Good.

Nevertheless, there is a thin line between loving others and pleasing others. That is where we all get so confused and err  most times without knowing.
For me, loving you means I have to tell you the truth at all times in love which could hurt you as a friend. But if the consequences of your actions seems to be leading you to wrong or will hurt you, then I must tell you quickly, yet Love is not "Rude":therefore I have to tell you the truth lovingly,calmly and respectfully.
Care must be taken in walking in love and not pleasing man. On the otherhand,please God even if you have to displease men

You can easily be drawn into the web of pleasing others,so you can be seen well or be favoured by them. But at the end, you will displease God and lose out in everyway.
So you really want to walk in love? Ask God to birth in you His kind of love so you can love and please him and love your neighbour as yourself.

In doing that,take a step further and review your conduct with those around you and be sure your lifestyle influences them for good; reassess and realign yourself with God.

Enjoy your week of Walking and Working in Love!
Ciao.
