WELL, as we are about to enter into a land that most of us have no clue about my thought, suggestion,comment and question is about love. Love is a beautiful thing. Love is so kind and patient, God is love, but do I show the love that Jesus talks to Peter. This love that Jesus spoke about is agape love. It is not just a love that comes from a person’s heart. Yes we should feel this love, but this love should be rooted inside us. It should be who we are. We are one with God and God is love, so it should be our being.
Love never fails, yet why has so many people I have loved; who have not been Christians failed me so much. Since God is love than the rare love that these people showed me was straight from God right? Not necessarily that is not the love that God is talking about. That is not agape love. It is just a form of love. It was not rooted inside those people. I believe God wants to give me this love. I believe he wants to give us all this love. This love has to be shown to the people around us. This love will not fail. This love will start a revival like we have never seen. This love will bring heaven on earth. I pray and believe God wants us to have this love.
I agree with you about love. Love is what my mission is. I am to go and love on the people of the world. Not condemn them, or judge them, but love on them. When people see they are being loved, especially by complete strangers, they will ask why. This is the perfect opportunity to share that we do what we do because Jesus loves them, and since Jesus loves them so do we. Then when they do accept Jesus in their lives, God will deal with them about their sin just as He does us. I feel like I am to be there to help them along, but because I sin even as a christian, I am not one to judge and condemn or punish. That is God’s job.
We also need to learn to love on another as christians. I feel like we are so divided and God calls us to be one body. We should not hate other “denominations” or even those in our own. We are to love the world, love one another and if we do not, the bible says that we do not love God. It is pretty deep stuff. I praise God that I have the understanding of that love, I am not perfect at loving, but just knowing and having that understanding is a huge step.
God Bless! and who ever just read this.. I LOVE YOU!!
Um…that was beautiful, man…(sobs)! Seriously, it’s that love that we as christians desperately need in our lives. It’s that love that people should feel everytime they are around us. And it’s that love that truly can change the world. I actually have recently experienced that love and can stronger than ever, feel that love flowing out of me like living water. Love you man. God Bless
