It's All Love


1 John 4:16 "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them". 

Love is a powerful thing, so much so that you can't choose who you love nor who loves you. In fact, love is the dominating characteristic of God exhibited throughout the Bible. It's so powerful that even those who don't choose to be loved by Him are chosen. The church of God is founded upon love and is continually built upon through love. Love is what drove God to put Jesus into the world. Love is what gave Jesus the strength to make it to the cross to die so that we could be live and allowed to exhibit that same type of love to others. Pretty powerful right? Love is usually inexpressible by words (much like God's goodness) because it's more of an action, a feeling. Do you know what I mean? Have you experienced love, God's love? Are you operating in love or are you still trying to figure it all out? Relax. Just as much as God's love is inexpressible via words it is also not always understandable and that's okay. If you're anything like me you need an explanation for every action or feeling when sometimes the answer is simply love and it's unexplainable. You may find yourself asking "Why didn't I get that job?", "Why was I rejected?", "Why do I have to experience this?", and etc.  But don't worry and don't question because it's all love. In order to operate with love you must stand on trust, so I challenge you this week to rely on God's love and operate in God's love.  Allow love to be the driving force for all your endeavors this week. Allow love to take over in situations where anger, irritation, agitation, and hurt try to creep in. God has showered you with love how about you spread that love!
