Matt. 5:13…Salt, 14…light of the world
Matthew 9:36-38 NLT
36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. 38 So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.”
Acts 1:8 NLT
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Matt. 6:34 So don’t worry…
When you worry, you are actually believing that the devil has the power to make inroads into your life that God cannot protect you from. But when you refuse to worry, you are putting your faith in God. You have more confidence in His love & power working for you than in the devil’s ability to harm you. When you refuse to worry but trust in God’s finished work on your behalf, you will be free, free, free from worry.

John 13:34-35 NLT
34 So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. 35 Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
You don’t love people because of their actions and character. You love them because of your character and actions.
I don’t have to agree with someone to love them.
If you love me, you will say yes or no for me, NO, that is manipulation and control.
Love doesn’t avoid people.
Love is not a respecter of people.
When you live in love, you are free! No stress!
Love has no reputation, other than to walk in love.
Love doesn’t hate, or never stays angry with people.
Love doesn’t fear, control or manipulate, love keeps believing, trusting and resting in the Lord and His Word.
Love does not get jealous or intimidated with others ability, even if they are better, love rejoices.
The more you know God loves you, the more you can love others, if you lack friends start loving strangers.
A stranger is just a friend you haven’t met yet.
You should love sinners like Jesus, to have disciples, if you love them they will eventually love you back, be patient.
An enemy is a person you need to forgive and love or remove your judgement against them.
Proverbs 17:13 NLT
13 If you repay good with evil, evil will never leave your house.
Love is a decision to manifest God’s character of loving regardless of who is standing in front of you.
God loves me all the time even when I miss it.
God loves you even when you don’t love yourself.
You can love people despite what they have done to you.
If someone wronged you, give it to God and leave it there.
Romans 12:19 AMP
19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for God’s wrath [and His judicial righteousness]; for it is written [in Scripture], “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord.
Romans 12:20 KJV
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Romans 12:21 AMP
21 Do not be overcome and conquered by evil, but overcome evil with good.
No one gets away with anything, because there is an inspection at the end of the line.

The Judgement Seat of Christ
2 Corinthians 5:10 ESV
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
Romans 14:10-12 ESV
10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; 11 for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” 12 So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.
Phil. 2:12…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Let God’s loving character in your spirit man override your unrenewed mind and flesh. Let God’s truth override what you think and feel, bring what you think and feel under subjection to God’s Word, who is love.
I want you to know to do right is inside of you, but wrong thinking and wrong feelings work hard to hide who you really are, a loving person who reflects the Loving character of God.
Matthew 16:25 NLT
25 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.
Love doesn’t tell people what they want to hear, it speaks the truth in love.
If someone rubs you the wrong way, you have a problem.
