Introduction…
Three years ago, I asked the Lord to teach me about love and what I experienced was the harshest dismantling of what I thought it was and have come to the understanding of everything it is and can never be!
The divine magnitude of Love is most atomic, yet it is the luxury of our own self-governed decision and is not conditioned else it ceases to be! That in and of if itself is nothing short of heaven's power demonstrated; for it gives those that live within its realm freedom to love as deep, as high, as wide and as hard as one chooses! For something without boundary, its foundation is sure; for when all other contenders such as Like, Lust and Infatuation fail, Love remains untampered, unmoved, anchored and steadfast!
Yes, Suh!! Now that is a revelation at 4:53 am!! Oowww!
Though I still have much to learn of its strength, check out what I have discovered this far…
What Manner of Love?
An Excerpt from “My Journey to Wholeness: The Sojourn Continues”
The illness of sin is a contagious worldwide epidemic that has long infected the minds of humanity draining its victim’s purpose, beauty and strength. The sickness thereof dims the light of vision in the eyes and bricks the luxury of hope behind its high walls of bondage. Its tainted fruit rots quickly and ages the young, yet the general population eats of it in excess and the void is never filled!!
Nonetheless, there is an antidote that is able to eradicate this poisonous disease forever! It cost not a dime and its supply is limitless! It translates into any language; fits any size, and has no boundaries! It is not hindered by seas or continents. It is not ruled by time or by the laws of gravity! It is not subject to government, science, technology or politics! It cares not about net worth, education, family lineage or social connections! It cannot be bought, sold, traded or bartered! It will not force itself, but it can disband armies, destroy cities and dissolve generational chains! I call it and you know it as LOVE!!!
This remedy has been publicly accessible all along, but its potency is forsaken due to its simplicity and the misdiagnosed administration of fairy tales! This nature of love is rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus by faith that we may comprehend the latitude, extent, distance and pinnacle of it for the sake of being filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3). It is the same ardor that motivated the spirit of God to create worlds and their inhabitants! (Gen 1:1, Colossians 1:16, Hebrews 1:2)! It is the passion that moves our Lord to seek after our friendship and provokes Him to jealousy should we worship another (Exodus 33:11, 34:14, Isaiah 41:8, John 15:14)! It is the vehemence that quickens our Lord to arise swiftly in war on our behalf (Exodus 15:3)! The amity that inspired the eternal Father to embody Himself in mortal flesh to walk among us as a perfect portrait full of grace and truth (John 1:14)! It is the greater affection Jesus manifested by becoming a curse lending his visage and form to be marred for the sake of presenting us holy, unblameable and unreproveable in his sight (Isaiah 52:14, John 15:13, Galatians 3:13,Colossians 1:22)! The passion that declares that ours eyes, ears and heart cannot begin to conceive the things God hath prepared for them that loves Him (I Corinthians 2:9). The manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God, wherein it do not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is (I John 3:1-2)! This is the cure that can resuscitate the world back to our living soul’s original air (Genesis 2:7)!
Jesus left us with this, “A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13: 34-35)! As believers, it is our mission to show the world how love should conduct itself. Loving by example will drive men, women and children to find out our difference. To discover the source of our glow and the warmth of peace felt in our slightest touch. Think back! Who were we watching that convinced us to leave the world of darkness behind? Who was our beacon of light that navigated us to our encounter with Jesus? For if we remember, it was not condemnation that attracted us, but that “not so accidental” bump into that right person who introduced us to our destiny in Christ at the right time.
Love is the kingdom’s secret weapon that will utterly eliminate the symptoms of sin and restore men to their initial call of dominion (Proverbs 10: 12). It is truly perfected; lacking nothing and without blemish. Yet, it is the only component that renders us nothing if we do not possess it (I Corinthians 13).
Love does what it does because Love is a living deity that sits upon a great throne! That is correct--GOD IS LOVE (I John 4:8)! He is the total ingredient and highly performs without fail. With Him nothing is impossible and He is beautiful for every situation (Luke1:37, Psalm 48:2)! According to Apostle Paul, come tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, sword, death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present, things to come, height, depth or any other creature, nothing is capable to separate us from the love of God (Romans 8: 5-39)! I John 4:10 sums this up splendidly, “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us…”!
Amen!
