You are Love... Everlasting and Never ending!

1 John 4:7-8 “ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God: and everyone who loves is born of God. He who does not love, does not know God, for God is love.

God created human beings with fellowship in mind. First with Himself, then with others. We have it backwards, we go for others first before seeking God. We cannot fully love, until we ourselves have experienced love of God. We need to surrender to His call to be our Savior, Lord, and friend. Then see how things go for you. Whatever problems you face, He will face them with you. He will give you a peace in your heart that you never imagined, even with the same problems. Psalm 34:10 “Those who seek the Lord, shall not lack any good thing.”

The part of this song above that I love is “Everlasting ,and Never ending” That’s not what love looks like today, because so many people go by feelings, and conditions being right. Love isn’t a feeling, it’s a commitment. People today treat relationships like a car that you could trade in because it doesn’t look like it use to, or run like it use to. I love what my pastor said one Sunday “The grass is not greener on the other side, just pull the weeds in your own yard.”

Love dies to self (1 Corinthians 15:31: Romans 8:4-13; Galatians 5:16: Galatians 2:20) Walk in the Spirit, NOT THE FLESH, (Daily)! 

So many of us live beneath our blessings because we don’t die to the flesh desires, and live in the Spirit.(DAILY!) When you fail to die to self daily, is the reason why (even Christian people) cheat on their spouses, and commit other sins against God. True believers don’t knowingly sin. We can’t stand not feeling Gods presence. Sin draws us to repentance. “He’s forgiveness for every confession” Not making excuses for it and saying, “Oh God understands” That’s taking lightly His grace and Mercy.

Dying to self is a choice you have to make. It is the act of surrendering your life COMPLETELY to Christ. Like He gave up His life for us John 3:16 “ God so loved the World He gave His only begotten Son”….. “ So by this all men will know He is love” as stated in the song. 

Our life with Christ is not for an hour or two  on Sunday, it’s a 24 Hour, 7 days a week decision.

Grace and peace to you
