TUESDAY'S THOUGHT: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

YOU are capacitated to give LOVE unlimited! It is really difficult to grasp the idea of giving LOVE to everyone on Earth, but, as does *GOD* give HIS LOVE, impartially, so too, are we to! CHRIST JESUS reiterated this in HIS Sermon on the Mount, when HE said in MATTHEW 5:43-48...
43/ “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
44/ But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
45/ that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
46/ For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same?
47/ And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same?
48/ So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.

HE KNOWS we struggle with LOVE! HE KNOWS we will NEVER be perfect! Yet, HE WILLS that we, at least, spend the remainder of our lives ATTEMPTING to, in LOVE, compassion, charity, kindness, tolerance, gentility, understanding, forbearance, and well, all behaviours, courteous, respectful, enhancing, and, virtuous, BECAUSE, these mark the righteous! It IS imperative for the righteous to be visible, and, viable, as, these LEAD people, to *GOD*, often, without knowledge of doing so! You see, LOVE LIGHTS THE WAY, just as CHRIST JESUS!!!

LOVE is not easy for us to embrace, especially, in this aggressive, cocky, self-indulgent, and, competitive world, YET, we MUST! And, the ONLY way to fully understand LOVE, enough to embrace it, is THROUGH THE WORD, and, constant meditation upon THE WORD, *GOD*, and, CHRIST! It IS all laid before us, and, while it seems SO out of our reach, we ARE capacitated to LOVE unlimited, BECAUSE we ARE the Children of *GOD*, and, because it IS the ONLY REALITY of existence! LOVE IS ALL, and, EVERYTHING! LOVE IS THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING, but, that ole' serpent, has distorted THE TRUTH of this reality, to the point of it, barely being taught to us, let alone, encouraged! Again, the egocentric being is NOT our REALITY, the spirit IS, though, we have mostly, been raised in the egocentric being, as, that has become the standard for this world, but, that is NOT correct, by any measure, not, even partially!!!

STUDYING THE WORD, consistently, OPENS UP to greater understanding! I tell you, again, I cannot count the AHA moments I have had, even though, I had previously read, and, reread, the same things! *GOD* works in mysterious ways, and, diligence, along with sincere desire to understand, creates HIS movement in our lives, through HIS WORD, and, in endless other ways! Anyway, the more you study, the more you learn, the more you learn, the more understanding you have, the more understanding you have, the easier it is to live in HIS WAYS, and, the easier it becomes to live in HIS WAYS, the more you, even unknowingly, are forwarding HIM, and, HIS WILL, and, GLORIFYING HIM! It, simply, becomes ONE with your being, and then, you are HIS essence, alive, for all the world to see, bear witness to, and, testify of!!!

Desire has much to do with how much you take in of HIS WORD! You HAVE to WANT to KNOW, fully, THE WAY! Of course, we will, probably, NEVER fulfill this quest, but, the effort of the sincere, holds amazing properties!!!

And yes, I know, we get all excited about sharing HIS LOVE, then, in a few hours time, the downright complexities, of a negatively geared society, slaps you in that excitement! Don't lose heart! Time to LOVE MORE, more, and, more! As CHRIST JESUS said, For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? LOVE is UNCONDITIONAL, and, DOES NOT REQUIRE RECIPROCATION! If it did, we would not exist!!!

There are SO many benefits in living in a state of LOVE; benefits which, are far reaching; bringing one to PEACE, HOPE, and, JOY! Not only for those giving, and, sharing LOVE, but, the many people who are in their path, and, those, whom, do NOT get enough LOVE, are INFLUENCED by the SELFLESS LOVE, they witness, from the righteous!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! That is one of the MOST IMPERATIVE LESSONS *GOD* wishes us to learn, embrace, understand, and, utilize, for MANY reasons, one of which is, it REFLECTS HIM TO the world, and, ENCOURAGES others, to notice the wonders, therein!!!
