LOVE; THE BOND OF BROTHERHOOD

COLLOSIAN 1:3-17

We express the love of God in diverse ways. But no matter the way you acknowledge this love by the Holy Ghost, at the end of the day, you will discover that you have given out something in exchange as love demands which you may not notice when it occurs. Love is expressing gratitude towards God and towards one another through the Holy Ghost directives. God expressed love to Humanity by submitting His son willingly to die for Mankind.

JOHN 3:16
(16)      “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten
            Son, for whosoever believes in him should not perish but
            Have everlasting life”

And that is how God expressed his own love? Now, how do you express your own love to one another? Remember, you must give something in exchange to express love. So, that little handshake, that wonderful beam of smiles that you will give to someone today is an expression of love and can change his entire career, and keep him/her in a mood to achieve a goal, that little money you used to assist someone, you think that it is too small can help some one’s transport fair to accomplish his/her contract for the bigger money he/she is expecting, and also can help other to work for better a salary awaiting. So in expressing love let us learn to give out something, no matter how small and you should not brag over it lest you lose your rewards because your rewards come with compensation from God the way you least expect it. It may be through your health, your finance, your Career, your most important need etc. you don’t detect for God the way he should reward you because he is the only wise God who searches and knows the heart.

In today’s content saint Paul the apostle and Timothy are writing to the faithful brethrens in Union with Christ at Colossae express their love in prayers and thanksgiving to God on their behalf as well as letting them know that they care for them. This is a simple way believers should care for one another, not necessarily waiting to get money and share gifts. The letter to the brothers in Colossae is an appreciation of love.

COLOSSIANS 1:3
(3)        “We always thank God the father of our Lord Jesus
            Christ when we Pray for you.
(4)        Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the
 Love you have for all the holy ones
(5)        because of the hope that is being reserved for you
            In the heavens. You previously heard about this
Hope through the message of truth of the good
news “
(6)        That has come to you just as good news is bearing
fruit and increasing in all the world; so it also doing
among you from the day you heard and accurately
knew the undeserved kind kindness of God in truth.

So as the Month of June has ended, begin a new month with a smile. Even if you don’t have money to give someone, give someone a handshake and a good smile that change his/her status for this month. Remain blessed.
