Today’s Scripture “And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another]
as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us …” (Ephesians 5:2)
WALK IN HIGH LOVE
How are you walking? Where are you walking? Wisdom walks in High Regard LOVE — esteeming — delighting in one another! In Jesus’ New Covenant command — Scripture tells us — “walk in LOVE (esteem and delight in one another)”. One definition of esteem — “to hold in high regard”.
Esteem — high regard (value) means you highly honor — highly value one another. Even when you disagree — even when someone behaves ugly, dishonorably — God’s Healing LOVE command says to highly honor — highly esteem them — because they are valuable in God’s Eyes (1 John 3:20-24). Think — if you had a highly valuable, museum quality piece of fine sterling silver, you would never throw it in on the dirty ground! You would never sit it outside in the garage, or set it under a tree in the freezing rain. Never! You would treat that valued piece of sterling silver with greatest care. You would make certain that precious silver piece is kept in a safe place — polished, protected — admired! When you regard (value) God —
in His powerful LOVE-Wisdom Royal Way — you regard (value) yourself — you regard (value) others — you “see” God — as valuable — precious —
you “see” yourself — you “see” others — as highly valuable — worth Highest LOVE —
1. God’s powerful LOVE-Wisdom Royal CHAMPION Way — 2. You are to treat God — treat yourself — treat others very well — 3. You are Wise in the way you talk to God — talk to yourself — talk to others — 4. You look only for good in God — yourself — others — honoring HIM — “And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another]
as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us …”
(Ephesians 5:2)
