Love. it makes it sound so easy. i believe its true, that when we have Love we dont think of doing the things it list here murder, steal, covet, and commit adultry. another verse that comes to mind when i read this passage is Colossians 3 vs 7-10 "7You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator."
its interesting to see how it speeks of love, and how if we live a life with out it our life is lost and is being ruined. yet we have been made in the image of our creater, and because of that we need to show his love to others.
for me it can be hard to show that kind of love 24/7. there are those times when i get rather upset with people. yet we need to clothe ourselfs with compassion, humility, kindness, gentleness, and patience ( colossians 3 vs12)

sweet insights. the thing that gets me from that passage is the urgency: "The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber..."
i wonder if we spent time thinking about how to gratify Jesus not thinking of ways we can get away with sin how our lives would be different.
