Dear Christian Believer,

   God bless you and your families in the name of Jesus Christ.

  This morning I was thinking about the kind of Love GOD has revealed to us through His Word and the recorded life of Jesus Christ. It would be wonderful if the whole world were to manifest GOD'S kind of love. I'd be happy if every Christian would manifest His love.

I John 4:16
And we have known and believed the love that GOD hath to us. GOD IS LOVE, and he that dwelleth In love dwelleth in GOD, and GOD in him.

  The life of love or love life is when GOD'S love is living in us, and GOD'S love is being manifested in our lives as it was in the life of Jesus Christ. This kind of love should rule, and dominate the Christian Church, the Christian home, and the hearts and lives of Christian men and women. GOD'S love is unconditional. He loved the world (the people) when He was not loved by the world. The love of GOD is to the human heart ... as the beautiful flowers are to the rocky hillsides or the mountain valleys. Just as flowers grow around the rocks, and barren places, so it is with GOD'S love. It will cover, and fill in the rugged and barren places within our hearts and lives. The composer and singer, Michael Bolton used to sing, "Love Is a Beautiful Thing," and it is. But many times the most beautiful things are the most fragile, and yet they have the most enduring strength. Love is such a one. Christians need to be love of GOD filled, and overflowing. They need to be love of GOD ruled and motivated.

  Ephesians 4:15 says we are to speak the truth in love. Service is another way of manifesting GOD'S love. When we are living the life of love, we do not shrink from sacrifice and service to GOD and His people. Nor do we ignore our responsibilities. Jesus demonstrated this kind of life in the way he loved, and sacrificed himself in true service and obedience to his heavenly Father. He taught us how to love and exhorted us to love the way he did.

John 13:34-35
A new commandment I give unto you, that ye Jove one another: as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
³⁵ By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

  Today Jesus sits at the right hand of GOD. He is our mediator, our advocate our intercessor, and our Lord. We are his witnesses, his ambassadors, and his ministers. We are to believe on him and do the same works that he did and greater, (according to John 14:12). Jesus also gave us a new commandment, "to love one another as he loved us." We are to be his witnesses, his ambassadors, his ministers, and love with his love, (GOD'S love). It is our turn and time to be his substitute and love and serve in his place upon earth until he returns.

  Love is the reason for man's being. GOD created us that we should love HIM and worship and no other.

Deuteronomy 6:4-5
Hear 0 Israel: The Lord our GOD is one Lord:
⁵ And thou shalt love the Lord thy GOD with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

. Love is the healing for every wound.
. Love is the creative motive and force of creation.
. Love should be the reason for all parenthood, in every culture, and the active ingredient concerning HOW they raise their children and care for them.
. Love is the force that redeems wasted life, and makes it useful again
. The heart is the life of man - BUT love is the life of the heart.

  'LOVE IS SPIRITUAL" because GOD IS LOVE, and HE invades the realm of the human heart when we allow HIM in. When we step out of love ... We step outside the will of GOD because HE is love and His will is to be loved and to love one another. Maybe it's time for all of us to re-examine our lives concerning how well we are loving GOD and one another. If we are falling short, then perhaps we need to go to GOD and make some changes in our words and deeds.

John
