Loving one another is the greatest gift allowed to share with each other, which provides an uplifting stimulation that allows room for emotionally growth, while spiritually lifting one someone to heights of jubilation.
The reason why Jesus gave us two commandments, which are to love God with all our mind, soul and body, is because it is these three that causes us to stifle our ability to grow spiritually and will take complete submission to God, for any of us to understand, even in a small way how the beauty of love motivated our Father to create us in His image, Who smiled upon His creation with satisfaction, If I may say so, looking upon His child with much love and joy.
It is out of the display of this love that I am in complete admiration for God, because anytime I could be loved so dearly, even during with knowledge of what I would do, to turn my back on Him, caused me to understand that If I am to be in the Image of Him, then loving is the first place I should start.
To love unconditionally allows us the ability to grow spiritually, which in essence is the reward, so what If i'm not being loved, by those, I show love to, It should not stifle my ability to love, which is in the image of Him, Who loved me, knowing that I would be one who honored sin, as if it was the last breathe to keep me alive.
Loving in the spirit would actually affords me the ability to enjoy relationships on a greater level, from social to personal, because I would not need to think about what he or she may or may not do, If I share my love, because if revealing love is my main purpose, then what ever someone does may knock me for a loop, but out of loving spiritually, encouragement would be the first though, as appose to wanting to get even, or worst.
Which leads me to the next commandment, "Love your neighbor, as I have loved you" which causes me to believe, He meant, even when you disliked Me, hated Me, misunderstood my actions, or let jealousy be your lead, I still loved you with out a sinful thought about who you are, what you may be or lack.
Jesus job was not only to be a living sacrifice, which was differcult enough, He was also anoited to show us how to love one another, because with all the negativity that we display, we don't only harm others, which goes against the Father and that makes matters worst, but theres a saying, all that you do to me, you already done to your self, so with out loving spritually, we hurt our Father, we hurt others and our selves
When we think negative, act in ways that demonstrate hatred and such, causes much harm to our very being and I believe it's because, us being in the image of our Father, doesn't agree with him, who is the enemy, so it effects us internally, that causes a domino effect of self misery.
I don't mean any harm when I say this, but many appose, suicide, like my self and others are hurt by the lost, but with out loving spiritually, it's like commiting the same act, but only using a slower method and hurting the Father in the process, so i have chosen to duplicate the love of Jesus, which is to love you with out sin, which in my eyes allows me to believe that I'll be working toward being in the Image of Him, who loves me completely.
