Of course when you are attending so many meetings you often get tired, and that's when your relationship with God really goes down the drain. You got so worn out that you don't spend proper time with your family, or friends and neither do you get to spend that special time with God. Perhaps attending too many meetings might be hindering your faith and not helping it.

Some people might read this little piece and be tempted to throw in the towel alltogether and not attend any meetings at all. That would be a huge mistake and you would do yourself no good at all. Like most things in life there must be a good balance. Honey is good for your health, but if you only ever eat honey it will be bad for your health.

Our Faith and love in Jesus is something we live day to day. Its not something that we do in church only. In fact if we only fill our lives up with doing church we will never have anytime to actually do the things that God asked us to do. We are to learn to love others, we are to develop good relationships with our family, husband or wife. We are to do a good job at our work and serve God by serving our boss. We are also to be prayerful people and we need time to do that too.

Jesus actually said that "If we love each other, then all men will know that we are his disciples." You can find that in John 13. In other words, the key to filling the church with the lost, and reaching out to our unsaved friends, and the key to being quality believers is found in that four letter word....LOVE.

How often in churches the people don't really love each other. There is always a lot of talk about love, but not often the real thing. Jesus said (again in John 13) that "A new commandment I give to you, to love each other as I have loved you." There you have it! We are not to love each other any old way, but the way that Jesus himself loved us. I think if we really did that, that a lot of the little arguments and disputes that go on would never get started in the first place.

Jesus gave his life for us. He also forgives us for our many sins and struggles some of which are huge and monumentous. He is always ready to give us another chance.

Are we ready to give our fellow christians another chance? If one of them has hurt us, are we kind and loving enough to overlook that? That is the kind of love that Jesus had for us? After all, in comparison to what Jesus has overlooked in our lives, the sins of others to us are miniscule.

There are basically two kinds of love. First is actually doing good deeds for other people and showing them that you care. This might be helping them move house or washing a car or just phoning them up when they are lonely. The second kind of love is the opposite.....it is overlooking the faults of other people when they don't treat you how you should be treated. What if you are lonely and no one phones you up? What if you are moving house and no one helps you? What if someone slanders you behind your back? Love is also forgiving and forgetting these things and putting them behind you. We need both kinds of love in our churches for there to be real life.

Jesus said that when we have this love, "then the world will know." So the best place to begin with is us. We need to ask God to make us people who love, and we need to take some of our time (instead of attending so many meetings) to actually be people who love each other.

With Love..its the Ultimate Way of Living.
