So true, please share your thoughts on a verse.

Job 14:1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.

Job 14:2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

As one preacher said, If your Momma was a woman, you will have trouble in your life. That's just life, in the church or out of the church. I find myself either going through "trouble", a trial, coming out of a trial or entering into a trial, some of it of my own making.

I've come to realize that trouble in my life is as normal as breathing and some things I can't change, but God has proved Himself faithful by being so near during the hard times.

John 13:34-35 "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

We are to be known to all men as disciples of Christ when we have love one to another. Even if we disagree on minor things, by our love one to another, is how the world, and all men will know that we are disciples of Jesus Christ. Love is a difficult thing to achieve, and it may be hard to love a brother in Christ who sees some things differently than ourselves, but this is what we must do, as commanded by the Lord Jesus himself.

"A NEW commandment!" No wonder folks rejected Jesus! They had been taught to hate their enemies and along comes Jesus with this NEW teaching of love. I long deep in my soul to be able to love like Jesus taught us to love.
Thanks.

Loving like Jesus did is a challenge that we will face every day we live, I believe, as we grow more and more like Him. Indeed, no wonder folks rejected Jesus teaching, and why the young man turned away sorrowful at the further teaching of Jesus to sell all and follow Him. Following Jesus will cause us to let go of things that we think are most important to us.
