TRUE LOVE!

The fact that we are so quick to look at each other and judge, says a lot about who we are in Christ…not much. Let me break it down. The bible says showing and operating in love, is the greatest of anything we can do in our life; it has no negative connotations. However, we as Christians, or even those who do not serve God, believe our good deeds, or our services in the church or outside of church, is enough love; yet we do these things (some of us), with expectations, and/or begrudgingly. Meaning, we do things for people with an expectation to receive something back, whether it is to be glorified, kind gestures, or given gifts. 

Oftentimes, things are done out of the kindness of our heart, but God said, our heart is deceitful, above all things, and desperately wicked, who could know it. How are we feeling when we give? Are we expecting, are we doing it because we have to look good, or are we genuinely showing love and have no thoughts behind it? Are we truly allowing someone to hurt us, and continue to show love to them, or do we fight back, rather than allow God to handle the situations for us. God is saying, the best way to fight back, is to continue with love being poured out at all cost. Yes, it sounds inhumane, but, that is the way of God. It is important that we stop looking at ourselves blindly and partial, as God desires for us to see ourselves for who we really are through HIS WORD! We can only fellowship one with another, and have a prosperous unified church, if we put on the true LOVE OF CHRIST. We will hope for the best in everyone, and have faith that we all will do better so long as we are serving the one true God, and with Love, which is the greatest of them all, and we will stand strong in the presence of the world. We will conquer the prince of air, and then, people will know God is real!
