Love & Obedience = Joy
Recently, I looked up scriptures on "love" to hear what God had to say about it. At times, I find it a BIG struggle to love those that do not show love. But God does not want us to base our attitudes and reactions on what the world does, we can only control our own actions in situations. Here is what I found;
God loves us Deeply.
We are commanded to love others, including our enemies.
We are to love God most.
We are not to worry about peoples approval but be obedient to God.
Jesus loves us, like God loves Him.
Obedience to God = Joy
Jesus is our best buddy.
He chose us and will equip us for His missions.
The world will hate us.
Us loving others, fulfills the law of God.
I am of no value, if my motive is not love.
LOVE
Is: patient and kind
Isn't: jealous, proud, demanding, irritable
It doesn't: keep records of wrong, like injustice, give up, or loose faith.
Always: Hopes, Endures, is forever, is #1 & eternal.
We are to be filled with love from a pure heart.
Love with a true love.
Deep love covers sin.
Love doesn't fear.
His deep love for us, lets us love others.
We defeat evil by trusting Christ to give us victory.
In a word, what do we want to be remembered for? ...
I pray to you God, that you would win over my sinful attitude and actions, and help me love others like you do.
