Just Love.
We were created in love.
We were created to love.
It’s as simple as that.
For the past few months I have been trying desperately and failing miserably trying to become someone that God could use, because I badly wanted to do all that I could to help the broken, lost and hurting people all around me. I had the mindset that I need to be something more, or do something more. I couldn’t identify how to accomplish this! I was stuck. I was frustrated. I was exhausted. I thought I needed to somehow make this happen.
I couldn’t have been more wrong. God uses me just the way I am, exactly where I am at.
The Lord revealed to me that He only has one task for me… to love. LOVE. Love genuinely. Love fiercely. Love gently. Love softly. Love unconditionally. Love greatly. Love selflessly. Love joyfully. Love passionately. Love zealously. Love. Love. Love.
Not only does He want me to just Love but also, He wants me to Love right where I am at. I am capable of that. I am equipped for that, I have been since I was born. I am perfect for that task, so are YOU, in fact we all are. This is why we are here, to just love….to love with the love that we receive from our Heavenly Father’s embrace.
“The Father’s mission is that the entire world experiences His love by the love that flows in and through us as we receive His love and give it to the next person we meet. That is our mission in life. It is what we were created for. Every fiber of our being was created to receive love and give it away. Nothing in life is more natural than walking in the love of our Father and passing that unconditional love on to others. “ (Frost)
Love. I know how to do that. I know it’s not always easy, but it is the Best way to show the world who my Heavenly Father is, and the love that He has for them.
I don't know about you, but…
I WANT TO LIVE BY THE LAW OF LOVE.
I desire to have love flowing in and out with every heartbeat. I yearn for His living love to reside and be at home in me. I want that love to overflow and pour from me on to everyone I cross paths with. This is what I was created for. This is what I was born to do.
“God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. This way, love has the run of the house, becomes at home and mature in us." (paraphrase of 1 John 4:17-18 TM)
I seek to have Agape- a love that seeks the low place of humility, service, honor, and value, that’s where we find God’s heart, God’s mission. That’s where I find my mission.
My hope and prayer is that I leave love wherever the Lord takes me. I pray that the broken and hurting people all around the world would accept and embrace the Father’s Love. I pray for love revolution and revolution of love.
My Heavenly Father’s love for me is beginning to drop from my head to my heart and has brought great joy to my heart, my soul, my life. Because I am now capable of accepting and embracing His love for me, I can now love more fully, more deeply.
My prayer for you, for every living soul is …
…that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God . Ephesians 3:17-19
