There is one thing missing from the hearts of "Church Folk" and that is love...Why is that so hard for us when it was like Jesus's biggest teaching was on LOVE! I miss that mark myself sometimes it is so hard to love someone who does not want your love and shows you just how they feel like you mean nothing to anyone. I have spent many hours in just weeping before the lord when someone does me wrong. I have learned to tell it to Jesus instead of trying to repay any wrong I feel.he promises to fight my battles and the love he shows me means more to me anyways..

Matthew 25:31-46

New International Version (NIV)

The Sheep and the Goats

    ³¹ “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. ³² All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. ³³ He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.    ³⁴ “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. ³⁵ For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ³⁶ I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
   ³⁷ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? ³⁸ When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? ³⁹ When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
   ⁴⁰ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
   ⁴¹ “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. ⁴² For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, ⁴³ I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
   ⁴⁴ “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
   ⁴⁵ “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
   ⁴⁶ “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

I heard a woman pastor say the other day about widows in her church.. " If they can't work they should not eat" how out of love and scripture is that? I was taught that we care for the widows and the less fortunate. we show the Love of Christ and win them to the kingdom by showing the mercies of God and his grace. I choose to LOVE regardless of how someone treats me God said in hos word when I am forsaken "HE WILL PICK ME UP"

Love is: God’s love in me is patient, slow to anger or to punish and it is generous in providing aid to others; God’s love doesn’t envy. God’s love in me doesn’t brag.

The love of God in me never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

There is no fear in love; but perfected love cast out my fear, because fear carries the expectation of punishment. I overcome all fear by maintaining God’s perfect standard of love in my life. 1 John 4:16-18
