Living a Fulfilled Life

“And if I have prophetic powers ([a]the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God’s love in me)
 I am nothing (a useless nobody).”
I Corinthians 13:2(Amplified)
 

 
God placed purpose in our lives when He created us.
We are not a mistake, an evolutionary product or a created being left to our own devices.
We have, whether we acknowledge it now or not, a heavenly Father who breathed life into us and has given every person ever born a unique purpose.
That purpose is not and cannot be separated from His love to you and through you.
Part of seeing that truth fully realized in our lives is believing that life without His love is a wasted life.
His supernatural love is vital to fulfilling His call in our lives.
Apart from it we simply cannot do what we are called and purposed to do.
Jesus walked in that supernatural love.
Jesus finished what He was sent to do.
He showed us how.
No life lived has ever been as transparent or as documented as His was.
He spoke of the Father’s love.
He demonstrated the Father’s love.
He prayed that same love would be in His disciples.
How can we live below that and ever expect to do what we are created to do?
Instead of only placing I Corinthians Chapter 13 in a wedding invitation or as part of the vows in the ceremony how about we make it a regular part of our prayer and meditation in order that we not take a step in life apart from His supernatural love being real to us and through us.
As we do that I know the contrast between His supernatural love working in us and our own self-centered efforts at loving others will become more and more evident.
The desire and necessity of walking in His love will be more and more apparent.
Anything else becomes a waste!
