Love is the greatest of all commandments and is an integral part of My divine nature (1 John 4:8). When My Spirit dwells in you, you begin to be transformed into My image (2 Corinthians 3:18). Love is a fruit of My Spirit’s presence in your life (Galatians 5:22–23), which is increasingly manifested as you do your part to cultivate it and put it into action in your everyday life. You do that one step at a time, starting with making your relationship with Me a priority and seeking first My kingdom (Matthew 6:33).
You live out the commandment to love your neighbors through your loving and kind actions throughout your day. Loving others means intentionally seeking for opportunities to share My hope and love with others, both in word and in deed (Colossians 3:16–17). Every time you are concerned for others and translate that concern into loving action, you are reflecting My love and drawing others to Me.
Everything you do to invest in My kingdom through loving and caring for others, through sharing a witness, and through your prayers and acts of love and compassion will bear fruit. I have promised that as you give to Me and others, you will receive abundant blessings in return—in good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over (Luke 6:38). So continue to freely share with others the love you have freely received from Me (Matthew 10:8).
