Berry Patch Devotions in 2021 - Day 91
Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ... Please take the time to take in song and lyrics from Jackie DeShannon singing… What the World Needs Now … poignantly singing that the world needs so much more of what Jesus gave the world … His love.
==============
Highlight Passage: 1Peter 4:8 [ESV] ...
8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
… We are charged by God, thru Peter, as Christians, to continually show love for one another.

Highlight Passage [Context]: … 1Peter 4:7-11 [ESV] … USE THIS LINK …

Reference Passage: … John 13:34-35 [ESV] …
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
… Jesus commanded it of His disciples … now all we need to do, as His now disciples, is to JUST DO IT!!
Reference Passage: … Romans 12:9-10 [ESV] …
9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
… God, thru Paul, charges Christians to outdo one another in showing love and honor to each other.
Reference Passage: … Hebrews 10:24-25 [ESV] … USE THIS LINK …
… God’s word charges Christians to come TOGETHER to love each other, encouraging one another, especially the closer we get to Jesus’ return.
My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Dave Branon, AT THIS LINK … tells of a caller to a Christian call-in radio show who, having come home from the hospital after surgery, reported, … “Everyone in our church family has been so helpful in taking care of us during this time.” And this caller certainly illustrated God’s call and the command of Jesus and others in God’s word to activate God’s repeated call for believers to live out Christlike love every day.
And the Nike company motto, … ”Just Do it!” … certainly applies to Jesus’ command, doesn’t it?! I think we Christians know that our Lord commanded His disciples … to ALWAYS show love for one another (see John 13:34-35). And God’s word (see other Scriptures above) repeats that command, doesn’t it? The, question, reactivated by today’s ODB entry, is … WILL WE?! …
So, … I pray we JUST DO IT today and then, even more tomorrow.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, King Jesus, … for making it so clear that we Christians should go forth today, loving one another.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to just get to it today, loving one anther. … Amen
