Love That Never Fails
St. John 3:16, for God so love the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
What greater love can a Father give to man than all that He has. He gave man His Holy Spirit and He gave His Son. God gave man all of Him. But what did we do with His Love? We sell it for profit when ever, where ever, and however we can. God's love keeps us from being condemned. The reason God sent His love to man again was so they could once again see Him and have life. Does God want man to have abundant life, yes. But man began to receive things and forget the love of God. They forget that it is God's love that brought them to where they are. Pride began to set in and they walk around with a spirit of condemnation like they have already arrived. God is not pleased. How dare we misuse the love of God.
God's love never fails, it is all things. Knowing the mystery, secret or unknown about God constrains and restrains us. When the love of God is present in our lives it forces imposed stricture, restrictions or limitations in our way of life. God's love flowing in us restricts our behavior or actions. Love loves in spite of all of our wrong doing. It loves when no one else loves you. It loves when you are in love by yourself. It sees no fault. Love makes you hold on when the situation seems dead. It makes us hold on when we don't want to or think we should not. Love forces us to put limits in our life. Love keeps us in check. It compells us to avoid or perform actions that goes against God. Our own feelings are repressed along with all actions or behavior. Love is patient.
Love prevents us from doing, exhibiting or expressing a wrong. It keeps us under control. It's like being under arrest. The charge is, deprived of liberty to love any other way than that of God. Love withheld causes one to come in compliance. Love does however helps us to progress with God. When loved right we are persuaded to wait when we want to go on. We are to be so bound up in love that we do not stray. When people try to influence you to act in a way other than what you believe, love will keep you.
Love is the tool in which God created mankind, it is the driving force of the Father to come and redeem us back and accept his love. Love made Jesus come the first time and love will cause Jesus to come again. Love loves not just because but in spite of. Love suffers long, is not puffed up, does not act unseemingly. It bears all things, believeth all things, and endureth all things. Love is first pure then spread abroad. Its by pureness, by knowledge, kindness and by the Holy Ghost. Man cannot love outside of God.
Love have fruit that must be exemplified in the life of man. Its gentle, good, peaceful, joyful and faithful. When we love we love with all lowliness and meekness, with long suffering, forebearing one another in love it strengthens us with all might according to the glorious power of God. Love shared should be in our hearts that it is poured out of our bowels as mercy. This love keeps us humble and not prideful. It forebears, forgives and cause man to not wax cold in their relationships. Love sees no ill, it causes one to reach for perfection; mastering life in victory.
Love causes us to respect others where ever they are in this walk of Christ. It teaches us to be wise and lowly in heart. When Jesus died on the cross he gave us His love and brought forth forgiveness. Love covers a multitude of sin. Love is showing and having affection and reverence along with that respect. It is without dissimulation, it changes not from one moment to the next. There is nothing false about it that makes it appear to be one way when its not. Love is not a put on or a concealed feeling but all the intentions behind it is of truth. We cannot pretend we love, we know when love is real. It is spread abroad in our hearts; the heart either works or it doesn't. Its up and running or its shut down. True love is not easily walked away from; that is why we find substitutes to replace a love when it is impossible.
God so loves the world he gave his all to it. We too are loosed in the area of love to give Him our all and all. We are to give all diligence to lowliness, brotherly kindness and charity that each abides in us that we be fruitful in love. Because of God's love we have been purged from sin and called to love one another. We obtain this love through the righteousness and knowledge of God and our savior Jesus Christ. Through His divine power He has given us all things that pertains to life and godliness. He calls us to glory and virtue to be a partaker with Him.
God strategically orchestrates our life into His divine plan. Every move in our lives is perfected when we put Him first. Our lives are to be carefully manipulated by the Word and Word of God only. God builds us in love and the Devil kills us with the wrong kind of love that is sexual, sensual, and misrepresented. We cannot love in the flesh until we love God in the Spirit and expect our lives to be as God called them to be. When we love like God says to love we become His people and not just church folks. Sometime we start out with God but when the forces of life comes we forget God's love and get in the flesh.
But when we fall in love with God we cannot hurt his heart. When we fall in love with a man or woman we dont want to hurt their hearts. When a baby is born in the world he is loved no matter how much pain it took to get them here. They suck milk until they can eat meat. They stumble and fall but get up. They have to be taught and as they learn they put on what they learn. They come to grow up from infant to child to adult. And even though they don't do everything we expect of them, we still love them. That's how God loves us. We accept His Son Jesus as Savior and we learn of Him through the Word. God together with His Son Jesus, the Word and His Spirit will keep us in love with Him and mankind. We will love right, do right and be right. God Bless
