The Law of Love (2) Above all, clothe yourselves with love... COLOSSIANS 3:14 Gods love is the most powerful force the world has ever seen. And as a follower of Christ, it is up to you to carry the torch and keep it burning. The Bible says, ...Clothe yourselves with tender-hearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience...Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony (vv. 12 & 14 NLT). Its one thing to quote Scriptures, pray long articulate prayers in public, study theology and attend church. But only when people see your love will they be impacted by your life. Love, not words, is the true test of your discipleship. Its said that General Omar Bradley once made a business trip on a commercial airline wearing a regular suit instead of his military uniform. When he reached his seat, he started doing some paperwork. As it turned out, the man sitting next to him was a young army private who didnt recognise Bradley. So, after take-off, he turned to the general and said, Since were going to be together for a while, it would be nice if we got to know each other. My guess is that youre a banker. Not wishing to seem rude, but needing to finish his work, Bradley replied, No, Im General Omar Bradley, a five-star general in the US Army. I head up the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon in Washington, DC. Without missing a beat, the young private replied, Well, sir, thats a very important job, and I sure hope you dont blow it! Your most important job today is to show Gods love-so dont blow it! A blessed day
