THE SHADOW OF HUMAN EXPRESSION OF LOVE

 
October 3rd 2018

“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love” - John 15:9-17


Not many can express unconditional love, maybe because we are human. But we must learn to Love like God. In our world today, love means different thing to different people. Rather than love assuming the character of sacrifice, it wears the cloak of lust. Rather than love giving willingly, it wants to receive. This is not right. It’s time to shift from human incomplete love, to God’s unconditional love that has no end. Unconditional love gives life at the point of death; it gives light in darkness and strengthens you in time of weakness. Today, humans are being called to express love like God. This means we have to give willingly of ourselves to help and to save others in difficult situations. Love is sacrifice – giving without expecting anything in return. God loves us unconditionally – so He gave Jesus Christ to us. But what are we willing to give to each other? Some would only express love to others because they want something in return. That is not right. Beloved, ONLY God can give complete and unconditional love!


The word of God is telling you today that Jesus loves you unconditionally and completely. Himself being a product of love, He is ready to give complete love, not minding how sinful you think you are. Accepting Jesus’ love, will create a shift in your life, so much that you are filled with strength, and value. When you come across Jesus’s love, your heart becomes pure in love; no longer is love solely a romantic or obligatory relationship that satisfies your desperate need to find significance and value. BUT Living in God’s love places you in a position of strength, for you know, to whom you belong and who you are. You do not need human love to prove your self-worth or value. God is yours and you are His. The word of God is telling us today to make a life-changing decision to follow true love and to be loved unconditionally. God is the source of our value and our hope. Nothing you face in life will detach you from the love of God. All you need do is believe that Jesus loves you! God is love and will always love you. Lean on God’s love. God’s love fills every void in our life. It is free and universal. It’s available to everyone. God’s love does not fail, but human love does not last - it is usually hinged on a condition! To receive God’s unconditional love, SIMPLY BELIEVE THAT GOD IS LOVE, AND JESUS LOVES YOU!


Prayer
Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I open myself to a renewed inflow of your divine love today, and I declare I have a new identity and hope, for I am filled by Christ love. Lord, I cease to yearn for empty, mental and emotional laden affection, and I declare a shift into a limitless ocean of love which rests in the heart and soul of Christ. Thank you father. AMEN.
