I’ve found that I’m more open to God’s love when I’m weak.  More grace operates in my life when I’m weak as well.

I have to say that the more the Lord shows me that I need to have more of His love in my heart, the easier life becomes.  Life becomes more enjoyable and less stressful.  I’m a better husband, father and neighbor.  My mind slows down, it has more peace, and I can relax more.  I listen more, I’m more patient, compassionate, have more Godly wisdom and understanding, and I’m more gentle.  His love reminds me of how wonderful it is to be loved by someone who is allowing God’s love to live through them.

God’s love brings a lot of comfort to us if we’ll ask Him to produce it in our lives and yield to it each time He shows us how to live it out.  What a blessing God’s love is to all it touches.

The Way of Love

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.  And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.  If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.  Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends.  As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.  For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.  When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.  When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.  For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face.  Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians Chapter 13

Who (or what) shall separate us from the love of Christ?  shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?…For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Romans 8:35; 38-39 King James Version (KJV) Edits Mine

Nothing can separate us from God’s love.  Not world conditions; a new job; a promotion; moving to another home, city or state; car trouble; family or financial matters; the economy; health issues; you name it…

Like a beacon, God’s great love keeps calling out to us every minute of the day and night wherever we are saying, “I’ve overcome the world; I know the plans I have for you; I love you so much that I sent My own Son to bring you back home to Me, to My love, where you belong; you can trust Me when I tell you that you can have joy and glory in trials and tribulations; it’s okay, you can trust in Me with all your heart; I’m still supplying all your needs; you don’t ever have to be afraid of sudden fear, never; I’m still working all things (even this one) together for your good; let My perfect love for you cast out fear; I’ll deliver you from all your fears; you don’t have to be anxious about anything, ever; keep casting all your care on Me because I’m caring for you, My precious one; you can let My peace rule in your heart right now; only be strong and courageous because I’m with you, and I’ll never leave you nor forsake you; let My Word, My love letter to you, be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path as it reminds you of My love for you; please know that My mercies for you are new every morning, especially today; I’m your shepherd, your Abba, and you will dwell with Me in My house all the days of your life.”

There, did you hear it?  God’s love is calling out to you…

God bless,

Mark
