The Truth About Love

I've been having some thoughts the last couple of days about this statement. The Truth About Love. For those that dont know, Pastor Joel from Bethany World Prayer Center has been through a tremendous battle for the past month with his wife and her passing, and last night HPC as a family went to support our family down the road Bethany by joining them in service. It was one of the most powerful experiences I have ever had with God. As the night went on something was stirred in my heart about Love. This is what it's all about, the body of Christ embracing one another and bearing one another's burdens, weather joy or sorrow, rain or sun we will run this race together. If your not a follower of Christ this is hard to understand. Why would someone bear with another that they know so little about, or have know relationship with. The answer is simple, because of Christ Love for us we also love one another. Because of his obedience on the Cross giving us sinners freedom from death, all of us believers have this in common. We are free our past life and are together new in Christ, what a thought, that we are now brother and sisters in Christ. Not because of anything we have done but because of what he has done for us.The truth about Love is this, that man cannot achieve the Love our father has for us, and if we could grasp just a little of it than walls would be torn down and egos would be broken. We would no longer look at the name of a building but the heart of a person. The truth is that Love is what the Father is and Love is what the Father wants. I pray that our pride would be removed and our hearts exposed. Love no matter the cost and love without want, just give. There are Lost people all around, and without his Love shown through us all they will see is an empty bottle with nothing to drink. I pray that we share his Love!
