John 13:34-35 English Standard Version (ESV)

³⁴ A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. ³⁵ By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Think about the one person you love the most.

Elizabeth Barret Browning challenges us in Sonnet 43 to ask ourselves; “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.”

Take a moment to answer the question about your loved one. Count the ways you love that one. Rank them if you must but honesty usually identifies itself in these moments with first thoughts. Now take a moment to look over your list. If it is a mental list fine, so be it.

Now qualify that list. Is the list physical in nature? Such as I love your eyes. Is the list commercial in nature? Such as I love your cooking? Is it personal in nature? Such as I love your personality? Is it spiritual in nature? Such as I love your heart. Maybe it is a mix bag of these or something else.

Here is a list that might exist out there.

I wake up every morning looking for you.

I ask about your thoughts and emotions.

I ask about what you want?

I look to meet your needs.

I share my inner most self with you. I hide nothing.

I care about what you care about and I hope you feel the same way about me.

Jesus said to love one another but never said how to do it.

John 17:24 English Standard Version (ESV) Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

“I love you and want you to be with me, to see me, to see love and to share it.” JC Limitless Love
