Love one another earnestly from the heart (1 Peter 1:22).
As Fenelon notes today, it only takes one word said curtly, irritably or with a haughty or disdainful look, can deeply affect others, especially the weak. As he notes, we need to use great care with others and there are dear and precious to God and members of His body.
Fenelon writes that "this attention to love ought to fill our whole beings -our minds and our hearts." He goes on to quote what Jesus said to Peter, "If you love Me, feed my sheep."
"What is sown in love will never be taken away; for love is the currency of heaven for ever. So if I don't have love, what have I? For all the law and the prophets, they hang on love and that's what holds it all together. And love will never fall away" sings in the background.
If we love others well, we do everything that is important well. If we fail to love others well, we fail at the one thing that matters most.
What people need most of all is love. So many people are deeply in lack of love. They search for things to fill them because they are in poverty of love.
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with feelings of compassion and with kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with one another; if anyone has a complaint against someone else, forgive him. Indeed, just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must forgive.
"And this is my prayer: that your love may more and more overflow in fullness of knowledge and depth of discernment, so that you will be able to determine what is best and thus be pure and without blame for the Day of the Messiah, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Yeshua the Messiah -to the glory and praise of God."
