The battle plan (walk) 3

Ephesians 5:2 says, "And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling aroma." Walking in love is no easy task. In fact, I would have to say that the battle begins in the heart. Jesus told us that we are to love our neighbor and that we are to love our enemies. The Bible tells husbands that they are to love their wives as Christ loves the church. Since the battle begins in the heart, then we should pray and ask God to help us to display this kind of love. It is a supernatural thing to perform all or some of these things. I am a firm believer that our relationship with God affects all other relationships. If we are having a problem loving others, then there must be something clogging our relationship with God. In Deuteronomy, it says that we are to love the Lord our God with all heart, with all our soul and with all our strength. If we can do this first, then there should be less trouble loving our fellow man. A good battle plan must include a good loving relationship with God!
