Love Like That
Jesus never commands us to feel something — He commands us to do something. And in John 15:12, His command is this: “Love each other as I have loved you.” Not as feels natural. Not as they deserve. As He loved — humbly, sacrificially, at His own expense. Love, in Jesus’s definition, is not primarily an emotion. It is a decision. And the remarkable thing is that when you make the decision and take the action, the emotion often follows. This is the fruit of abiding — a love that doesn’t wait for the right feeling before it moves.
