Audrey didn’t have many friends at school, not because she didn’t want any, she was just a quiet introspective person. Her classmates always made fun of her height, and as a result, she stayed on her own most of the time. One hot afternoon, just as school had just wound down, a classmate of Audrey’s named Christine was stranded at a bus stop because she didn’t have enough money to join a bus home, and none of her friends was in sight!
Audrey spotted her from far and offered to help pay her fare. Christine was taken aback because of Audrey’s love, in spite of how she had been treated in class. Audrey shared the gospel with Christine and how He had filled her heart with His love, and that she has lost the ability to hate or be vengeful. Hearing this, Christine gave her heart to Jesus Christ and found the same love Audrey spoke of.
Ours is to walk in love. Jesus said to His disciples in John 13:34, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.” Sadly, many ignore this truth, and allow bitterness to take a hold of their hearts. It accounts for the terrible experiences of many, such as debilitating sicknesses that defy all medications. Bitterness, anger, and malice are some of the most common causes of cancer. To walk in divine health, such unwholesome traits must not be a part of your life.
You’re born to love. Love is your life. The Bible says the love of God is shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Spirit. Walking in love isn’t just a commandment for you as a new creation in Christ Jesus, but the only way for you to live. God is love (1 John 4:16 & 18); thus, to walk in love is to walk in God. No sickness, disease, or infirmity can thrive in your body, because you’re in the glory of God! Walking in love is walking in the glory
