“You face a choice today: to love or leave. Only by the grace of the One who loved you and gave his life for your life can you make that choice. So, above the lure to take the easy way out, I say you today, choose love.
John
15:13
Greater love has no one than this than
to lay down one’s life for his friends.
Jesus had just eaten a hearty meal for Passover and taken a walk up the Mount of Olives with his friends to pray. It was late. The eastern horizon was shifting to gentle mauve hew. Jesus knew that in a short while, he would be arrested, convicted and sentenced to death by crucifixion. His friends had fallen asleep against the trees. He loved these guys and Jesus knew that Father loved the whole world. After all, he had said these words in his teaching: “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son,” and this love would be demonstrated by the event which was about to take place. He could have woken his disciples and led them back to town to go to bed. Jesus faced a choice: to love or leave.
Love is a choice. The butterflies and sparkles may have faded. The one you chose to say, “I do,” to, may not boast the same physique they had when you walked down the aisle. He or she may irritate you more than a thorn in the flesh. Your life circumstances may have changed and, as you face difficulties and trials at every turn, you may desire to simply walk away. You face a choice today: to love or leave. Only by the grace of the One who loved you and gave his life for your life can you make that choice. So, above the lure to take the easy way out, I say you today, choose love.
God-tracking is a choice to love.
IT’S ALL IN THE BIBLE. READ ALL ABOUT IT
Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you!
Mark 14:32-42
John 3:16

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY
“Thank you for your love for me even when I become unlovable. Help me to follow your example of love.”
“Dear God, forgive me for becoming self-consumed. I admit things are tough at the moment but circumstances are no excuse to stop loving the one you have given me to love. Forgive me for falling out of love. I know that real love is not romance. Real love is a choice to remain true, caring and devoted to my love. Above the lure to take the easy way out, I choose to love today, through thick and thin, in good times and bad, through sickness and in health, until death. Thank you for your love for me even when I become unlovable. Help me to follow your example of love. Amen.”
