“My command is this:
Love each other as I have loved you.”
John 15:12
Love.
Powerful word.
Equally powerful
force.
So what is love?
Love is a combination
of an act of your will, expressed with deep emotion, which is always
demonstrated by your actions.
In other words – love
is a choice that you make.
It is not void of
emotion but neither is it ruled by the emotions.
That love which comes
from God is not an indifferent love devoid of any impact.
Remember these words:
“For God so loved the world that He gave…”
In those words we
discover Gods’ will, His emotion and His action.
In those words we
discover Gods’ love for us.
You see God is more
than just a great example of love…God is love.
His very nature of
love motivates the actions He takes toward us.
Always has and always
will.
He hasn’t changed.
Some will try to tell
you that because of that love God will not ever punish or discipline.
While that is not
true, it is also not the point of todays’ post.
We need to move
beyond the love that only loves those who love us.
Gods’ love is infinitely
greater than that.
Will you choose to be
a vessel through which Gods’ love flows?
That is what we have
learned is heart love and not head love.
What more appropriate
subject to look at during Christmas week.
