“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. (John 13:34)
Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. (Rom 13:8)
My spirit's desire is to fulfill the law as my Lord Jesus has done. Paul gives the key to doing that very thing.
As we splash about the pond of life, ripples go out from us. In the world these ripples are made up of many feelings, actions, and words. We like to be with those who love Christ our Lord because there we find more ripples of love. We can carry this metaphor quite far, perhaps far enough to rock us to sleep on the waves of prose. However, we must watch carefully what ripples are washing up against us, for we absorb those ripples at least in part.
In the end times, seas of people will appear. Ripples and waves of anger wash outward from the center of these seas. Hatred may overcome many whose discernment is overcome by the waves washing back and forth across these seas. You and I may come upon a time to flee from these seas, but until that time let us absorb ripples of love from our Lord Jesus and our siblings in Christ.
Splash some love on me Lord!Bucky
