Jesus said.

John 13:34-35 (ESV) 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

John 13.34 I give you a new commandment, keep on loving one another just as I have loved you – my love for you is the source of your love for one another. (The word entole, which is often translated commandment or precept, has two components: en, in and telos, from tello, to set out for a definite point or goal; properly the point aimed at as a limit, that is, by implication, the conclusion of an act or state, the result; the ultimate or prophetic purpose. Strong’s 5056.) 35 In this environment of your love for one another everyone will come to know your discipleship unto me. The Mirror

This is part of my prayer every night that I would love all people. The part that I don’t say out loud is that my flesh would not interfere with how I love people.

Love well

1 John 4.7 Beloved, 1love always includes others, since love springs from God; its source is found in the fellowship of the Father, Spirit and Son. Everyone who encounters love immediately knows that they too are born of the same source. It is not possible to fully participate in love without discovering God. To love is to know God; to know God is to love. (1Agapao from agoo, to lead, and pao, to rest – love is where the Sabbath of God is perfectly celebrated.)Mirror Bible

This is my opinion but I believe that when you love all people you are literally living in God’s rest. There is a lot of bad stuff out there, alot of bad people full of Darkness. They are still children of God. They still need us to love them. They don’t make it easy. It is the love of God in you that makes it attainable.

God’s love leads us to repentance.

Romans 2.4 Do not 1underestimate God’s 2kindness. The wealth of his 2benevolence and his 3resolute refusal to let go of us is because he continues to hear the echo of his likeness in us! Thus his 4patient passion is to 5shepherd everyone into a 6radical mind shift. (The word translated, underestimate is the word, 1kataphroneō, from kata, down, and phroneo, to think, to form an opinion; thus a downcast mind, to despise or take for granted. It is the revelation of the goodness of God that leads us to 6repentance; it is not our “repentance” that leads God to goodness! The word “repentance” is a fabricated word from the Latin word, paenitentia, which became penance, and to give religion more mileage the English word became re-penance! That is not what the Greek word means at all! The word, 6metanoia, comes from meta, together with and noieō, to perceive with the mind. It describes the awakening of the mind to that which is true; a re-alignment of one’s reasoning; it is a gathering of one’s thoughts, a co-knowing. Faith is not a decision; it is a discovery. [See Isaiah 55:8-10] The word, 2chrestos, kind, benevolent, from xeir, hand which is also connected to the word xristos, to draw the hand over, to anoint, to measure; see also the Hebrew for Messiah, משיח to anoint; to measure, from mashach, משח to draw the hand over, to measure! [Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon, B Davidson.] In Jesus Christ, God has measured mankind innocent, he is the blueprint of our design! The word 3anoches comes from ana, meaning upward; ana also shows intensity and the word echo, to hold, or embrace, as in echo. He continues to hear the echo of his likeness in us! [See Romans 3:26.] If we are able to invent tracking devices to find stolen property via satellite, God has every person on the planet covered.
The word, 4makrothumias, means to be patient in bearing the offenses and injuries of others. Literally, passion that goes a long way; fortitude. The word, 5ago, means to lead as a shepherd leads his sheep.)

  1. I was reading my post again and I got to this statement. Somehow it didn’t click this morning but it just did just now.
