About a month ago I joined Substack, an internet site which is presently open for people to write and to express their beliefs, thoughts, and opinions on various subjects. One of the writers, a man, is presently encouraging men in how they should treat their wives. And that has inspired me to...
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35 NASB1995)

“Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things...
“Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.
“Husbands...
“Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from...

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by...
“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these...

Love is not dependent on my feelings,
Not contingent on what is appealing.
It matters not if I feel good today.
It matters not, about me, what they say.
If I am treated badly, I still love,
‘Cause love comes from my Savior up above.
I follow His example, what He did
When others hated Him and...
“Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are...
The fruit of the Spirit is love,
Which comes to us down from above,
Unselfish, obedient to God,
Does not give to sin any nod.

Surrenders our all now to Him,
And no longer led by a whim.
The fruit of the Spirit is peace,
For...
