Love! If we love God, we should lead with Love!

​I hear each day people say, “I did this or I did that“ but shouldn’t as Christ followers we being saying I loved this person the way the God Loved me. The way to show great love is to show it by loving others more than yourself. Just as Christ did for us. I know this sounds crazy to someone who is not a Christ follower, but If you’re a Christ Follower you know what I mean when I say that. 
 
Think about what people like to follow? People like to follow people that love them. Yes, sometimes it does come to speak the truth, but the truth comes with love not anger.  As a leader in the corporate world I see leaders who don’t lead with love and there I can also show you a team that falls apart. I can show you a leader who leads with love and I will show you a thriving and growing team. There is no difference in being a Christ follower. People want to be loved and if we are going to be Christians we should be like Christ and show love.
 
When I hear the word Christian these days it really causes me to think, what does that word even mean anymore? Because, ask the people around you that are not Christ followers when they hear that word. What do they think? I bet you will hear words like “fake, hypocrite, judgmental, and other descriptions.  Being a Christ follower, I would have to agree with them. Unfortunate people are quick to call themselves Christians but don’t show the love as Christ follower. You may be reading, and this say WOW. The reason I can write on this is because I looked in the mirror as a Christian and saw description they talked about.  
 
There’s a reason why Jesus said the second greatest commandment is like the first: if we love God with all our heart, we will love our neighbor as ourselves (Matthew 22:37–39). It functions like faith and works; if we truly have the first, the second naturally follows.
 
We may not all agree on certain things in life, but there is one thing that is universal.
 
THAT IS LOVE!!!!! SHARE IT!!
