God is love and love is God.
The two greatest commandments deal with love.
37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:37-39 ESV
But what about the people who are unlovable, or you do not know how to love.
God wants me to talk about this, but I have no idea how, I struggle with this. So, I will share what I get from God and go from there.
What God just gave me is to just love them but that isn't so easy.
Yes, it is God is telling me, it is us who make it hard.
We as humans tend to make that which is easy make it hard by screwing it up or making it hard with our own flesh.
That is it, we are loving by the flesh, not by the spirit.
In order to love those kinds of people we need to love by the spirit, not the flesh.
If you remember love is a fruit of the spirit.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
So, we need to ask God to take away our love in the flesh and give us the love that is from the spirit.
2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Colossians 3:2 ESV
We need the love that can only come from God to love these kinds of people.
I was set to go in a different direction and God kept saying talk about this so as this blog is led by God, I changed direction.
Think about what was written today and meditate on it so that it will penetrate your spirit!!!
For tomorrow we continue this...
