And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Ephesians 5:2 (ESV)
When we walk in love, or as some versions state, walk continually in love, we show we are followers of Christ. How do we walk in love? When we value others and treat all with respect and compassion. It is a Christ-like unconditional, unselfish, forgiving love; exemplified in our actions. To walk in love describes our actions, when we act like Jesus; we walk in love.
Our compassionate acts and loving deeds to others are considered a fragrant, sweet-smelling offering, to God our Father.
Wake Up from Your Sleep
Ephesians 5:1-2 (MSG)
5 1-2 Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.
Do you walk in love showing love and compassion to others in your actions and deeds?
Prayer; Our Heavenly Father, teach us to walk in love. May our actions be Christ-like and our lives characterized by love, compassion, and forgiveness. Let others see that we are Christians by our love. Like the bright yellow open coreopsis flower glows in the sun, let us shine brightly with your love and glow with compassion. In Jesus’ name. Amen

To walk in love, is to act like Jesus. Absolutely Jeanne. It is something we know we must do but I have found that to be challenging. But when I am diligent in my prayer life and time with God I find that I am better at walking in love and am not too quick to give into frustration or other situations like that.
