Nobody likes rules, right? Well, here’s a little secret: Rules aren’t all bad! In fact, they can really help us treat other people better. The word “commandment” used in this verse (John 15;12) means “a divine rule.” In other words, a commandment like this is a rule from God. And what does God ask us to do? He wants us to love otherothers. God could have given us lots of rules telling us what not to do, but instead, He commanded us with one thing that we can do: love others. That’s a rule that will make not just your life better, but the lives of those around you better, too! 

Spend some time in prayer and ask God how you can love others well.
