'LOVE YOUR FIRST PRIORITY"
"Romans 12:2: But earnestly and zealously cultivte the greatest and best gifts and graces (the higher gifts and the chocest graces). Yet I will show you a still more excelent way. [one that is better by far and the highest of them all-love]
"Where does love fit into your lis of priorities? Jesus said, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, as I have loved you".(John 13:34NKJV) It seems to me that Jesus was saying love is the main thing on which we should concentrate. The apostle aul states that "faith, hope, love abide...but the greatest of these is love." (1 corinthians 13:13)"
"Love should be number one on our spiritual priority list. We should study love, pray about love, and develop the fruit of love by practicing loving others. God is love, so when we walk in love we abide in him."
Because we walk in God's love by receiving and expressing it, we should not deceive ourselves into thinking we can love God while we hate other people (see John 4:20). It took me 45 yrs to realize that my priorities were mixed up and that I was not making love the main thing in my life. The commitment to learn how to walk in love has been the best decision I have ever made as a Christian."
