Love in the Family

Love is a choice. Loving your family is a choice. Loving your friends is a choice. Loving your neighbor is a choice. Sometimes that choice may seem easier than others but that does not change the fact that it is a choice.

This is especially true when it involves the church. I love my brothers and sisters in Christ but I do not always like them. We all make stupid choices sometimes and when we do someone must end up paying the stupid tax. When stupid choices are made there will be consequences.

Paul reminds us of this fact in Colossians 2:14. Here we have God through Paul teaching us that if we seek to have a unity of purpose in our church then we must make the choice to put on love which is the glue that hold the church together. It is not always easy to love others in family of God but we must do it if we are to fully accomplish the tasks that God has for His church.
