LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR CFC SFL CHRISTIAN LIFE SEMINAR TALK FIVE
You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these. Mark 12:
Love is not only having positive feelings.
Love is not always saying “yes.”
Love is not defensive.
Love is not self-seeking.
Love is not manipulative.
This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. John 15:12-13
It is not enough for us to say: I love God,” but I also have to love my neighbor. How can you love God whom you do not see, if you do not love your neighbor whom you see, whom you touch, with whom you live? - Mother Teresa

Christian love is impossible without God’s help.
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting. Mother Teresa
