I find this verse difficult. Paul wrote, " to live is Jesus to die is gain". Being in my seventies, I look back and think how difficult it has been to live for people while acknowledging the blessings bestowed to myself by our LORD. Physical death would be so much easier. Did Christ possibly mean 'dying to myself to live for others' ? Christ, in reference to himself and death he knew lay ahead of him, definitely demonstrated a love and felt a love which is difficult to attain of ourselves without the Grace and help of God via the Holy Spirit. It is imperative to add, "Thank you Jesus for the love you bestowed on me through your death on the cross".
JESUS IS LOVE AND IN HIM OUR LOVE IS PERFECTED. LET US LOVE WITHOUT REASON. FOR IN THIS SEASON ONLY LOVE CAN SUSTAIN... Jesus has sent the Comforter.. His Holy Spirit guides us. Listen today, and seek His face. It's our only true source of true peace..
I am so greatful for being chosen. God has truly been good to me. Thank you JESUS for shedding your blood and saving a sinner like me. I have to say Hallelujah glory to You, You are so worthy to be praised. I am a living witness of the change God will make in you! I was one of the biggest messes, But Glory Be To GOD, HE saved my life and made me whole. Hallelujah thank you Jesus! Try Him!
For by the grace of God that we are save being save and yet going to be save. Just remember it's not about you, but about the KINGDOM.
We all have work to do.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
To love others as Christ loved me is for me to forgive anyone that has wronged me before they have done anything to me. To have a forgiving spirit at all times .Hard to do but with Holy Spirit helping , it can be done. Jesus Christ forgave me before I was even born . Now that is Awesome !!!
Comment*what a friend we have Jesus christ. In this chapter Jesus is teaching us to one another without any hindrance. We are no longer servants but we are friends to Jesus because we been filled with his spirit our comforter. The spirit which helps us to know the will of our heavenly father

Please pray for peace to once again unite my family. One hasn't spoken to the other in a long time, and it has caused a great deal of stress for everyone.

I need God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to help all of us, and I pray every day to them.

This verse keeps us- children of God's convenant righteous to Him through love, truth, and kindness. And we as mortals must always pay the true tithe 10 of whatever we receive by God's power because without Him we can really do nothing John 15:5 To God Be The Glory and Honour, Amen.
