Love lives here

“These things I command you, that ye love one another.” John 15:17

The Lord Jesus in His earth walk was a master in love. We read stories of how His liquid love poured on those who were rejected , the afflicted , the possessed and the sinners. His hands touched the outcast of the day and they received wholeness. 

On that wretched cross He spoke the words that have become a top story into this day ,"Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing!" This is what stirs my heart every time I think about Jesus ; it is the reason why we can make Him a model for our lives. Yes, it's Jesus : love in action!! 

It is very imperative that everyone makes a decision to walk in love at an early stage in their life. This is what really matters in this life and the one to come. This is the law of the New Testament. This is the fulfillment of all the law and the prophets. Yes, it's the most excellent way to live your life. 

There are two kinds of love : human love and the God-kind of love. Human love has limits , it gets worn out , it is not pure and genuine , human love does not stand the test of time, human love cannot give without expecting something in return, it is self seeking. This human love is preached by worldly music , movies ,talk shows and the celebrities who preach about it have failed dismally at it. No , there is God's way ; an unfailing way. 

Thank God that when we were born again , we received a new type of love. Look at that scripture: 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”

Romans 5:5

The love of God has been poured in our hearts by the Holy Spirit!! Did you know that you can love like God because His love is in you. Love is the proof of the divine life in our hearts. 

“We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.”

1 John 3:14 

Oh what a scripture!! We know that we are alive because we love. Love is not what we do , it is our life. We talk love , we touch others with love , we intentionally demonstrate love wherever we go , we believe the best for every man. We are passed from death to life. 

However , we can only give to the level we manage to receive. How much of God's love have you received? Do you know that God is kind , that He is patient , He is not proud or rude , He seeks only for your best , He is slow to anger , He does not take into account the wrong you do, He does not rejoice when injustice occurs to you , He is glad when truth prevails in your life, He does not give up on you , He looks out for the best in you, He is hopeful concerning you and He never fails. 

“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”

1 John 3:16

Receive His love for you today and see how much it starts to overflow to those around you. You will be a blessing to your family , your workmates , your friends , your husband or wife , strangers will call you an angel. Christ lives in you. Love lives in you. 

Say to yourself daily : LOVE LIVES HERE. 

I give you a challenge today to study 1 Corinthians 13 continually. We have made it a foundational chapter with my fiancé. You will be surprised with the direction your life will take.
