Love. We all think we have got it right? I mean you say you love your family and friends? Yet your actions speak different. You say you love your enemies right? Until they actually do something against you? But I mean you pray for them? But how can we pray for people we don't actually genuinely love? Love comes from deep within your heart and your heart is what God knows perfectly and with detail. God- who knows our thoughts before we think them; knows our prayers before we pray them; our actions before we do them and our words before we speak them. He knows all. And He most definitely knows our hearts.
To be able to pray for others, it has to come from a place of LOVE.
To be able to help others, it has to come from a place of LOVE.
Why? I mean why can't we just act without love?
Because without love- it is nothing.
God is Love. In John 14:15- Jesus says to us ' If you love me, keep my commandments'
You know why? Because obedience to keep commandments comes from a place of love- you want to listen to them because you genuinely want to do what they say because that is love. You can easily avoid most sin when we have a genuine heart of love.
The greatest commandment surrounds love.
But why is this SO important?
Because in a world full of hate and evil, there is limited space for actual love. The love you see in the world is not love. Love is laying one's life for the whole world after living a perfect life. Jesus did just that. He is love. He shows us time and time again what love is. Most people think love is just a feeling. It is so much deeper and more than that. Look how God loves us endlessly- in fact, we turn from Him daily and disobey Him- and He still LOVES us! Most of our backs have turned on Him- and He still loves us. The love He has for us is true Love.
The world's love does not even come close. 'Love' today is full of lust, is full of sin, is full of pride.
God defines love to us time and time again.
Look at the words Paul writes showing the definition of Love- THIS IS GOD BREATHED. This is God telling us- look this is love not the kind you think. The world defines love yet is parading it around. Yet God tells us- Love does not parade itself. Satan has corrupted the most greatest commandment to turn it into sin. This is so true Christians are deemed against the world and different. From what may seem so small- Satan and this world has corrupted it into evil- it is all setting up towards his overall plan through the great tribulation.
I ask you all to examine your hearts. Ask God to show you if you have love and to create love within you- to let His love pour over you and surround you. To let His love be the only love you need and to be the only definition you follow. I pray you feel God's love today and that it is poured over you all- that He sets it in your heart to love.
Thank you for taking your time to read this post! Praise God for He is love!
God Bless! xx
