5 “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us…” John gushes in 1 John 3:1.

6 Comprehend: God Is A God Who Loves Us, Even When We Don’t Love Ourselves.

7 Cain and his brother Abel. Now Cain is explicitly named, identified as one who “…belonged to the evil one…” (1 John 3:12).

8 “Why is your face so dark with rage?” the Lord inquires in Genesis 4. “It can be bright with joy…Sin is waiting to attack you, longing to destroy you -- But you can conquer it!” (Genesis 4:6-7, Living Bible)

10 “O Love that will not let me go -- I rest my weary soul in thee -- I give thee back the life I owe -- That in thine ocean depths its flow -- May richer, fuller be…”

11 My life was “…an obstructed life…a life …beaten persistently against the cage of circumstance… [but] even [during my greatest abandonment -- I never heard God saying] “Good night,” [I heard God saying “Good morning.”

12 Lavish Encouragement And Hope, On Those Around Us.

13 “…God is light… [thus] if we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in darkness…we do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light…we have fellowship [with God, and in addition] with one another…” (1 John 1:5-7).

14 “Let no foul or polluting language, nor…worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth -- but only such [speech] as is…beneficial to the spiritual progress of others…that it may be a blessing…to those who hear it.

15 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit…Let all bitterness…and wrath (rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil- speaking or abusive language) be banished from you…

16 And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another [readily and freely], as God in Christ forgave you…” (Ephesians 4:29-32, The Amplified Bible).

17 Learn The Hardest Lesson Of Love, The Lesson Of Sacrifice And Humility.

18 “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And [so] we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers…” (I John 3:16).

19 It’s a life of sacrifice and servant- hood, thinking more of others, than self, loving not just with “…words or tongue, but with actions and in truth…” (I John 3:18).

20 “Whoever wants to become great…must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all…” (Matthew 20:26+37).

21

22 Emulate servant Jesus – who “…laid down his life for us…” (I John 3:16). For Jesus is right: “Whoever wants to become great…must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first, must be slave of all…” (Matthew 20:26+27).
