Here is a law we obey. We are to return any possession we should find that is lost by our enemy.........this would be part of Love.

brother, that is exactly the first thing that popped in my head when i saw the thread title
Deuteronomy 22
and it's interesting, you don't find this in the 10 commandments. if you just keep '10 commandments' you never arrive at this: but if you keep, 'love one another as I have loved you' -- you do this without need of specific written command to do so. because this is what Jesus of Nazareth has done for us!!! we were lost, and He found us, had compassion, and cared for us, and brings us back to the Father
When we truly Love God, as I have already mentioned, we obey all of the law, including commandments and anything Jesus instructs us to do.......they are not suggestions, right?
Peter bade Him "command me to come to you on the water"
i reckon he knew that being commanded would necessarily entail being empowered. and he began to sink not because of disobedience, but because his faith gave way to fear when he saw the wind and waves. he had asked for a command, and his flesh disobeyed it when fear overshadowed his faith.
when he said, "save me!" immediately the Lord reached out His hand and preserved him -- which is fantastic !!
I believe Jesus says this to me regularly......I pray to get over that before called to cross Jordan.. Praise God, amen.
