“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” (Romans 5:5)
One of the significant aspects of being a Christian is that you can love like the Father loves. The Bible says that “...God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). And it was not a world of saints that God loved like this but a world of sinners. He gave His Son, Jesus Christ, as an act of love while humanity was in the most unlovable state. Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
This is the same capacity of love that we have and are capable of tapping into even when we are confronted by disdain and ill-treatment. In Ephesians 4:32, the Bible says, “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” Now, God would never ask you to be or do anything He hadn’t first given you the grace for. Also notice that we aren’t to love circumstantially. Rather, the scriptures say that we should love ‘even as God.’ 1 John 4:11 says, “Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” How do we love one another? Even as God loved us and still loves us.
Brethren, this is big! It means that you have the same capacity to love and forgive just as Papa God.
But there is a way to unleash love from your heart and the Bible is very instructive about this. It says, “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things” (Matthew 12:35). In other words, you bring forth the love in your heart to the world around you by words.
Privately and publicly, let your words be saturated with love. The Bible says, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth” (1 Corinthians 13:4-6). The only way people can decipher these things is in your words.
But words are not enough. 1 John 3:18 says, “My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. Your love must be backed by action. Don’t just say you love people, back it with action. Give gifts, offer to serve, pray for them without the expectation of reward or reciprocity.
One thing is certain. The love of God has been cramped up in the heart of every believer in Christ Jesus. However, you must turn it loose on the world. No one can deny love when they experience it and this is your advantage.
You are the authentic love distributor in this world and if you would demonstrate love, the mountains and the hills will melt before you.
Have a great day!
Faith-Filled Confession
The love of God is in my heart and on my lips. I bring forth love in every sphere of contact with others. I am white hot with love so that when people encounter me, they cannot but notice the love of God melting every discomfort, gloominess and acrimony. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
