PS: I Love you
-JESUS
There's only love in the heart of God
-Zach Williams (Song: Heart of God)
These are the words that define my entire knowledge and nature of God.
You know my favorite thing in the world to teach is love. Its just such a beautiful word that describes ABBA our heavenly father or DAD if you'd like.
When I first had my encounter with God it was his display of love for me.
I had made so many mistakes, caused people so much pain, I was loosing my mind in false doctrine (story for another day) and at my lowest point I expected punishment from God and his wrath on me.
Instead...
ABBA showed me his love. I was in resistance for about a week just denying that He loves or wondering how could He love someone like me?
But He did.
He does.
I would wake up in the morning and He would tell me how He loves I just didn't want to hear it, I was really struggling to believe it. I mean, my entire knowledge of God was a God of wrath, punishment of every little thing you did and you have to do soo so many things to be worthy of his love.
what a lie!
Until one day, I just decided to receive his love and Surrender to it.
It was the best thing I had ever experienced.
So He began to show me from his word just how much He loves me and how much He seriously takes us loving one another it means so much to him. It is too important to him.
So what is love?
Love is of God and God is love.
[7] Beloved, let us love one another: for LOVE IS OF GOD; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. [8] He that loveth not knoweth not God; for GOD IS LOVE.
The word 'of' in greek means ek ex , meaning out of.
It is further defined as a primary preposition denoting origin
So in another words, John was saying,
Love is out of God
or
Love is originally God.
Yoh! The origin of Love is God.
Hold up!
Pause.
Just take a minute and think about it.
You mean all this time people have been out here, looking for love, for most of their life and all along the origin of it has been right here in the Bible?
Right before our eyes.
Even for Christians right inside them? (1 john 4:15)
The Origin of Love is God.
Not Man or woman
Not our souls, with its desires & feelings
Neither relationships, soulmates, knowledge, intellect, algorithms, created things or the air.
Just GOD
ABBA is the origin of love.
Texting teacher what do you mean?
This means that the best way to know what love really is, is to start with where it came from. And we have seen that it came from God. Now, for you to know and understand love you have to know God and the ONLY WAY to know Him is through his son, Christ Jesus our Lord.
Now let is look at the 2nd sentence.
Is love God's nature?
GOD IS LOVE.
The nature of God is and has always been love not matter what people do or say. Many times we look at the acts of God right from the old covenant and misinterpret them and yet God has been the same right from the beginning. His word will tell you the truth by the help of the Holy spirit. All along, He has just been desiring to fellowship with man, for them to come to him, who time and again rebelled against God who is Just.
The bible says let God be true and every man a liar.
'What then? If some did not believe or were unfaithful [to God], their lack of belief will not nullify and make invalid the faithfulness of God and His word, will it? '
'Certainly not! Let God be found true [as He will be], though every person be found a liar, just as it is written [in Scripture], “That You may be justified in Your words , And prevail when You are judged [by sinful men].” [Ps 51:4] '
Romans 3:4 AMP
Does God love me?
Perhaps you are here and you have had encounters with God's people that are unpleasant, bad, painful or even heart breaking.
Don't worry.
Today I want to tell you that Jesus loves you.
Yes the experience was hurtful but He was there, and He sees you and if you would let him He would like to start a relationship with you today. It was not God's intention for you suffer pain. He already suffered and died on the cross for you.
Listen, God has always loved you even before you knew him or even before you came to this world. Not just with any kind of love or some kind of love that gives up on you along the journey of your relationship with Him...NOP! I'm talking the forever kind of love that never changes the decision of loving you.
'The Lord appeared to me ( Israel) from ages past, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you. [Deut 7:8] '
And, this is how ABBA demonstrates his love for you
[8] But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 NKJV
So if this is the demonstration of God's love for you when you didn't know Him how much more do you think His love for is once you do?
No matter what experience you have had with the children of God forgive them, Surrender the matter to God.
You deserve peace more than the heavy laden of offense in your heart.
We as the children of God its time we start intentionally loving people with our love founded and deeply rooted in the love of God and our mindset being about people and not just ourselves. That way they will know we are God's Children. And we will not end up hurting others who need this too good to be true news in us.
Now, understand me clearly darlings. It is very important that we speak the truth because we are called to please God and not men. Be bold and fully convinced of that truth within yourself because it is that word that will change them. It is those seeds of the word of God that cause change in people's lives. Again I say, Let this word take root in you first. This way your motive will be sharing the word with wisdom full of understanding God's heart for mankind and if people get offended at the word we can only pray that they see the light of this good news.
I have so much to say about love but. I hope today you were able to see how Love goes beyond a feeling and it is actually the description, expressions and nature of God.
I am constantly about learning love and the love of God. I can never get enooooough of studying. Slowly by slowly I'll be unpacking LOVE to its core for ya'll.
