LOVING *GOD* with your entirety is the first step to a fulfilled walk with HIM! The second step is to LOVE one another as we LOVE ourselves, AND, is NOT an easy one for most to fulfill, because, #1, we are NOT well-versed in the truths of LOVE, nor, are we taught by any example of people existing in this kind of LOVE, at least, not fully! The ONLY example we have of this, actually, whom lived in PURE LOVE, is CHRIST JESUS', and so, we must study HIS example, and, adhere to this kind of LOVE!!!
Just as the mouth is the vessel of sin, as it is so easy to utter wrongful things, LOVING one another trips us up, time, and, time, again! That ole serpent, the great deceiver, IS well versed in ALL precepts, and, KNOWS exactly WHERE our weaknesses lie, therefore, he has gone to great extremes to create a world where LOVING one another TAKES MAJOR WILLPOWER, and, EXTREME understanding OF LOVE!!!
People are going to irk you, cause you to wonder about the state of humanity, they are going to hurt you, use you, diss you, tease you, tempt you, abuse you, confuse you, toy with your convictions, and, well, the list goes on, and, on! Can you imagine being *GOD*? I often wonder what I would do if I were HIM, in light of the actions of the people in this world, which, NEVER seems to improve, despite teachings, advancements, and, greater intellect; in fact, the more we know, it seems the farther we are removed from BASIC manners, and, respect! This kind of thinking makes me all the MORE in awe of HIM, and, of HIS patience with us! HE MUST LOVE us far more than is fathomable, to allow us to trip like this for all of this time! HIS LOVE must be impenetrable by disregard for it! Thus, we MUST tap INTO HIS LOVE, that our LOVE for self, and, one another, at least has SOME semblance of the kind of LOVE HE exists in!!!
How to LOVE one another... Hmmmn, almost like bottling up the oceans of the world! But, with *GOD* ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY when it IS HIS WILL being done, thus, we ARE CAPABLE of Brotherly LOVE!!!
In the next few posts, we will be opening up to ways which will enable us to understand the kind of LOVE which *GOD* is speaking of when HE says that we should LOVE one another! It IS IMPERATIVE to our walk with *GOD*, our walk with TRUTH, and, our walk right into eternity!!!
ROMANS 5:1-8...
1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us...
EPHESIANS 3:16-21...
16 that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self,
17 and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love,
18 may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine, by the power at work within us,
21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen...
It is written that we should ASK CHRIST JESUS to teach us to LOVE one another as HE has instructed, thus, we are to OPEN up to this state of existence, and, the first step to doing so, is to become familiar in entirety, to HIS example of LOVE! Always pray for guidance, for strength, for ability, in FAITH, and, HE shall walk you through it, glad for your willingness to align, out of your LOVE for HIM!!!
