Mathew 22:37-39 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Love is ________to me. Fill in the blank. What is love to you? Is it your home? The car you drive? Your job? Is it a love for money? Is it your family? Is it God? We can all have a god whether it be the God of the Bible or a material thing or people. Even those that say they do not believe in God, have some type of god.
Love is a universal language Understood by people all over the globe. And guess what. It is the language given by who other than God himself.
Is it any wonder why it is the first fruit on our list of spirits that God wants us to pursue?
And loving God is the first commandment. Everything else comes after that. And if we truly love God, those things do follow.
God is many things to us. He is our Savior, Deliverer, Provider, Peace, Healer, Light, and our Shepard. The list goes on and on.
But above all: God is Love. And because he first loved us, he sent his son Jesus into the world to save us from sin. (John 3:16)
To understand the fruit of love in its fullness is we need to first put our faith in him, accept his gift of salvation and learn what it is to first truly love him and then and only then can we love the gifts that he has given us.
Have you trusted God? Are you following him? Do you truly love him? If not, I pray that you will accept him and allow him to begin to work his fruit of love into your life. There is no greater love for us then God! For God is love.
A kindergarten teacher was walking around observing her classroom of children while they were drawing pictures. As she got to one girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. |
Thanks for stopping in today Friends. I pray you will go bless someone today and share your fruit of Love with someone that needs it! Have a great day!
