LOVE – The Excellent
Way of Love
Love triggers our
actions for the better towards God and humanity.
Mark 12:33
Love is more than the
sacrifices we offer but note that love should be the driving force and
propeller of our actions.
Love is not selective
in loving (it doesn’t select when to love, whom to love and other selections).
Love forgives unconditionally and never keeps record of wrongs.
1 John 3:16, 1 John 4:9
& 10
Laying your life for
brethren is to be selfless, other centered and to shoulder another’s
responsibility (-ies) sacrificially and unconditionally.
You might feel that
your love (good works) is not being rewarded or recompense just because you
have not seen any yet. Hold on! That shouldn’t make you stop loving. Keep on
loving even if/when you haven’t seen anyone that loves you. Do good even when
others don’t acknowledge/do good to you.
Luke 9:51-56
Love doesn’t seek for
the death, downfall and destruction of another. Love is the power behind
salvation. No matter the matter as long the matter is not against God, love
matters. Demonstration of power against a soul created by God is not love. Look
at what Jesus said in verse 55 … don’t you know the spirit you are of? (I guess
it is the spirit of love [salvation] and not of hate [destruction]).
Luke 10:30-37
The Samaritan never
knew man, but love which triggers his action of mercy made him to help this man
unconditionally and sacrificially. SACRIFICIALLY this Samaritan did helped by
changing his direction to attend to the injured first. Not only in time but the
Samaritan also sacrificed his treasures and strength. UNCONDITIONALLY did the
Samaritan show love because he did not ask for anything in exchange before or
after showing his love.
God expects us to love
in this dimension and even more. Hear what Jesus said in verse 37 “And he said, He that shewed mercy on him.
Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.”
Forget self and materialism;
cling to sacrificial and unconditional love for God’s church on earth to be on
the geometric increase.
Shalom!!!
Prayers
The father of
unconditional and sacrificial love, teach me to show love unconditionally and
sacrificially – Amen.
Confession
I as an image of God, will
love in God’s way and mercy will fill my bowel to show unto humanity.
