1 Korintinkoolu 6

In a mother’s arms, love does flow,

As gentle as the winds that blow,

In her embrace, we come to know,

God’s love, a seed she helps us sow.

She speaks with wisdom, kindness too,

In all she does, her love shines through,

Her children rise and call her true,

Her husband praises her, it’s true.

(Proverbs 31:26-28)

For you formed me, my inward parts,

You covered me in my mother’s heart,

I will praise You, for I am fearfully made,

Marvelous are Your works, my soul will not fade.

(Psalm 139:13-14)

Children, obey your parents in the Lord,

For this is right, according to His word,

Honor your father and mother, too,

So your days may be long and true.

(Ephesians 6:1-3)

Love is patient, love is kind,

In a mother’s heart, these virtues bind,

Love bears all things, hopes all things too,

In her love, we find life anew.

(1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Even in His dying hour,

Jesus entrusted to His power,

His mother dear, a sacred flower,

In love, He gave her to another.

(John 19:26-27)

My soul magnifies the Lord,

My spirit rejoices, in Him adored,

For He has looked on His maidservant’s state,

Behold, henceforth, all generations call me blessed, great.

(Luke 1:46-48)

So on this day, we honor you,

A mother’s love, forever true,

In every smile, in every tear,

Your love, a treasure we hold dear.

Here are a couple of reminders for you about loving one another. Be inspired to go out and spread love to those around you.

1. 1 Corinthians 16:14 Let all that you do be done in love.

Love is at the very core of our faith. We shouldn’t love only at certain times. Everything we do should be done in love.

2. John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

Jesus sets the example for us. He loves us, despite our flaws and shortcomings. We are also called to love one another.

3. Romans 12:10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.

Christians are brothers and sisters as adopted children of God. Therefore, we are to love one another like we love our family.

4. Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works

You can set an example to people around you, by showing love. Inspire others to love and do good.

5. Matthew 5:43-44 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you

Jesus tells us that we should not limit our love to those who love us, but even those who persecute us. To love and pray for our enemy or persecutor is a challenge in loving one another.

6. Luke 6:31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

Don’t wait for others to do good and show love. Express your love by doing good first.

7. Matthew 22:39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

The greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. Jesus says that all the law and the prophets depend on these two.
