John 13:35

John 13:35- By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another....there are certain things that I see that remind me of certain people, like anything Greenbay Packers, automatically I think, Trevor, or Penn State wrestling, Jake. Matt, jeeps!! Natalie, piano or music symbols, anything purple, a friend of mine loves snow, snowmen, anything that has to do w/ winter, so when I see those kind of things, she comes to my mind, or another dogs, so you know what I'm talking about? You see or hear certain things & you think of certain people, it's how they're identified. Well God makes it pretty clear on how people will know we are His...by how we love each other!! I thought, "oh well that's easy! I'm pretty good at showing love to other people!" Well you know how, when you get kind of cocky & full of yourself, God will say, "oh really!? You've got this one in the bag, do you??" Yes, I'm good at loving the people that I'm close too, or the ones that are loving to me, but what about the ones that I'm not close too, the ones that push my buttons or just drive me crazy!?! You probably wouldn't know I was a disciple of God if you saw me right after I had to deal w/ one of them!! I know that God has given me this verse to remind me of these things, to remind me that His love for me is great!! It's beyond anything I can comprehend!! As gracious as He is to me, I need to show that to ALL those around me!! To be like Him!!! So as each of us go through out our day today let's do our best to show His love, to look & be like His disciples. So that when people see us, they will see Christ!!! And that would be the best kind of identity we could ever have!!
