Everything in love

Let all that you do be done with love. - 1 Corinthians 16.14

So here we have it yet again. That little topic called love just keeps popping up over and over again. Be on guard. Stand fast. Be brave. Be strong. But there is one thing more. 

Do everything in love. 

Love doesn't take  a whole lot more instruction than that. Whatever we do we do in love. 

We go together to fellowship. We do it in love. 
We face opposition. We face it in love. 
We have to confront a brother about his sin. We confront him in love. 
We go to our weekly church service. We go in love. 
We have a troublesome neighbour. We approach him in love. 

And the lost could go on and on. 

But if doesn't require a list. It is really pretty simple. Do everything in love. Everything. 

Anything we have on our calendar to day must be done in love. 

I wonder how our lives would be different if we took that one admonition with us today?
