Love. L O V E. It seems an effortless word. Without it, it was all for nothing. Without it, His death was in vain. Without it, we are all dead.
There is a battle ongoing right now. And while we are unable to see it raging, some may feel its effects rippling through the atmosphere. Some are able to recognize its evidence thundering among the lives of the living (or... dying).
Read Revelations. Or don’t. But I recently had a revelation myself.
It stunned me to the point of disbelief (almost). Had I really never understood? The battle, this fight between good and evil. The ultimate victory of the Light against the darkness. What is it all for? Angels fighting among their fallen. Healings and miracles that followed when the world lost a Messiah but gained a Savior. There must be a reason. And something I had known all along occurred to me, only I never really knew.
GOD LOVES US.
It is all because He LOVES us.
L O V E. This is what it’s all about. See, this love, it can heal brokenness. Love will atone for sin. See, this love, it can deliver a nation. This love is designed from its very nature to bring sanctification to its beholders at its appropriate time. And this love is made for saving a people.
How I wish to convey the love of my Jesus, oh, that the reason for God’s atonement may never be in vain, LOVE. I pray for an uncommon love that unbelievers may find and ask, what is this?
Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. - 1 Peter 3:8.
Love has covered my sins. I will never be able to repay what has been done for me, but I will die trying (and loving).

Well, I can't compete with God's love for you, but I DO love you :) hehe.
ReplyDeleteGood post, cute pictures. It really is all about love..."for God so LOVED the world..."
Hello, my new friend! To answer your question, Yes I have seen the finger of God movie, it's been a long time now, I should watch it again.
ReplyDeleteI liked your post on love.I just watched for the first time, "The Passion Of The Christ" today. The line I was struck with was this verse, "Matthew 5:46, For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?"
That verse is just stirring inside of me. Like I haven't had an adequate dosage of love growing up, my tank is a little low. I have also struggled with receiving and accepting and trusting love and then I also had a fear that the love that I give away was tainted. I have been working thru it all sort of and have been receiving His love......But then He hit me with this verse today, I am suppose to be loving others who dont even love me. I got to start loving on people and not just give it away if I think I could receive it back from the person. Jesus I got a long ways to go. I want to be so grounded in His love and acceptance that I just give His love away and dont hold back for any reason. I bet it starts by giving it away now, before I am all fixed up.
He loved us when we were incapable of loving Him back!!!! I want to love Him back. I want to love others who are incapable of love. I want to be conformed to His Son Jesus.
oh wow I love the pics!! (not to mention your posting).
ReplyDeleteI can barely get my mind peaceful before I start seeing more ways that God is love, and how that is the only thing that is comparable. How easy, how simple, how childlike- how come so many people haven't experienced Him? How can anyone say no to This Love?
