Groom Your Spirit With Love

Groom Your Spirit With Love “He was appointed our leader by our community. Spending our money on himself was not part of the plan!” “I gave you an abundance of food to last you for 2 weeks. I didn’t give it to you so you could go and have a party and having nothing to sustain you until I came back!” “Don’t you think it is hypocritical to ask for something that you wouldn’t do for your sister 2 days ago!” Abusing a position of importance, being irresponsible, and blatantly self-serving are not traits that exude love. We can never love enough. Make your deeds more compassionate, your words more sensitive, and your attitude more thoughtful. We are all appointed by Jesus to bear good fruit, fruit that will last. Groom your spirit with love. A person who loves receives many blessings from God. John 15:9-17 Jesus said to his disciples, "As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.
