19-Oct-2021_this thing called love  
(Jesus speaking: ) What I mean by serving each other in love is spelled out clearly in the Gospels. Every time I stooped to help a down trodden one, went to their level and gave them what they needed, that was love.  A humble and giving sort of love. A love that gets paid back in the next life. It costs and so it gets given back again from the God of love. 
All times of giving and sharing, deeds done in pure kindness without any personal agenda involved, without personal gains wished for, will be repaid in full. Love is such a vast topic, and very needed in this life. You can spend your whole life learning it and attempting to give it at all costs, and still only scratch the surface of learning what this thing called love is. 
But love and serve often, or I should say usually, go together. You can scarcely have one without the other. For to truly love, you give and serve, and do so to your own hurt. But if you are called to serve, it’s much easier and so much better if it’s done with a heart filled with love, otherwise it’s a waste of time really. You don’t get much credit in the banks of Heaven for just going through the motions of working. Its all about what is in your heart, your motives for doing so. 
If you serve, primarily so that you can gain greater things for yourself, then that gets a negative mark. So love and serve do go well together and are mates for one another. And thus I say serve and do so in love; and turn the gift of love in your heart into active servitude. 
I love you and will continue to give and pour out love into your life. I will continue to serve you. Thank you for loving and serving Me. 
Always your companion, Jesus
