Vessels of His Perfect Love and Forgiveness

We are commanded to love one another as we love ourselves.  How can we be called to that level of love?  Doesn't God know how impossible that is for us to fulfill that level of love for others?  Of course, He does.  That is precisely why He expressed His perfect love and forgiveness toward us through the life, death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus.

When we accept Jesus as our Savior, He indwells in us, giving us the capacity to love as He does.  If we try to relate to others through our own capabilities, our frailties will be exposed.  If we let the power of His Spirit reign in our lives, we are enabled to become vessels of His perfect love and forgiveness.  We are then able to meet the great command to love one another as ourselves.
