How I Learned To Love - Part 4
By Marilynne E. Foster
Love is supreme. If we love God we will obey Him. If we love Him we will want to be with Him, and we will do all within our power to spend as much time as possible with Him. I can't begin to tell here of the wonderful time I have with the Lord each day reading His love letter to me and talking with Him.
If we love God, it follows too that we will love others. It is a natural sequence. And if we love others, then all our relationships with our brothers and sisters in Christ will be conducted accordingly.
If we love God, we will love the lost. God's love will motivate us to share Christ with them.
To love God is to obey Him and to obey Him is to love Him.
We are not constrained by duty, but by love. Our devotions are not a duty, but a joy. Witnessing is not a duty, but a joy. We are not doing it because we are forced to ,but because we love.
The basis is love. Do you love Him? Do you will to love Him, to obey Him, or do you will to gratify self, to disobey Him? Let us will to love the Lord. How do we do it? Simply by choosing to do it.
Lord, I will, I choose to love you . Lord, I love you.
Say it and mean it, whether you feel like it or not – God will do the rest!
Be the first to react on this!
