Love is not self-contained...
It has to be given away.....
It has to be demonstrated....
Love is the core of relationship.....
It is the choice made to endure...to keep on....to not quit....It is love.
Love does not have to be returned. But when it is, it multiples in spectacular fashion.
The scripture says that "God is love".
It doesn't say that "God loved".....
Or that God loves.......
It states the very nature and character of God....love.
Not the kind of love we find here in a fallen world, but love that was born above the mess....above the din and roar of hate and indifference. Love was present when creation suddenly filled emptiness. Love was part of the determining factor that brought creation into a reality.
What an incredible word, LOVE.
I John 4:9
In this the love of God was manifested (demonstrated) toward us that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world that we might live through Him.
The ultimate Valentine gift....
Forgiveness born on a cross....
Reconciliation birthed from a tomb, a place of death.
Justification found in the emptiness of that tomb.
Love that ascended back to heaven and sits at the right hand of God, the Father.
My love has a name....Jesus.
Love so strong that He is at work taking back what was given away to the devil in the garden.
Love so strong that it has the power and authority to take back lives from the kingdom of darkness and transfer them into real life.
Love so strong it brings healing with a gentle touch, a whispered voice and a fire that burns deep in the soul of those of us who have received this healing.
The devil hates the word, "Love".
He works overtime, days, night, weekends to discredit and smear the meaning of the word love.
He has weaved his web of deception until the word love has become defined by the act of sex.
He wants to dirty the name. Take away the purity of God found in that word, because he understands that GOD IS LOVE.
Looks like he'd read the book....
It says, "Love Never Fails."
What part of fail do you think he doesn't get?
Love....
Find the real deal today and then give it away.
And by the way....
Just in case I haven't told you today....
I love you.
God on you...
