THE PILGRIMS GUIDE SATURDAY AUGUST 15, 2026 THE COMMANDMENT TO LOVE A WORD FROM THE WORD: "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." John 15:12 NKJV. The context of our foundational Scripture lays great emphasis on the importance of love as a commandment from the LORD Jesus, and calls for a community built and dwelling on compassionate care and a pure reflection of the love of our LORD Jesus. We have a subsisting command from our LORD Jesus to love one another just as He has exemplified with His love for us. In the LORD Jesus' example, we have come to know and understand the vices genuine Christian love should never have, e.g. possessiveness, stifling and demanding, robbing the loved one of freedom. Love that is controlling is utterly counter productive. True love is releasing and communicates joy. It’s not for you to feel wanted or needed. There is still room for love in your heart, fill it up for the benefits of others and glory of God. PRAYER BULLETS: LORD Jesus, impel my heart to be obedient to Your command and love like You.
