"Love is right here, Love is alive, Love is the way, the truth, the life..."
At the center of the Christian faith is a great, deep and searching love.
We have been called out to stand up for love, to love one another, to love the gifts of life we receive and to live for Love himself. Without Him, we truly are nothing. We could possess all of the faith in this world and still come up empty if love is not at the center of our hearts.
1 Corinthians 13:2 says, ""And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing."
Sometimes for me it's easy to go through the motions of life as if checking things off a list.
Talk to this person, make friends, check it off.
Go to this class, succeed, check it off.
Write paper, work hard, check it off.
But there's a problem with living from task to task from day to day. You aren't really living.
You lose out on truly experiencing what you are doing and using that to bring glory to God.
Sometimes we forget that love is at the core of everything and anything significant in this life and we miss out on big opportunities to show that love when we let life's motions cloud our focus of what is real and true.
We mustn't let the things of this world shape our hearts because God has called us to love for Him alone. He is always with us, always watching over us. He doesn't overlook a single thing that you do in His name even in the darkness...
"For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown in his name..."-Hebrews 6:10
So take that step forward and listen to His promptings, you never know who or what God is leading you towards until you get there. Trust in His ways because they are high above our own and remember to love yourself.
Love others like He loves you.
Love the life you live.
Learn to love where you're at and what He can teach you.
He is the way, the truth and the life.
God is love.
Have a beautiful day.
