Can u imagine a life without LOVE? A world without LOVE? What would us be like?
LOVE conquer all fears. LOVE makes our lives worth living. LOVE is the source to drive our lives.
In this world, we are told to hate those who hate us, backstab those who did to us, criticise those who doesn't meet up to our personal standards. All these doesn't make us happier. It doesn't help people. It caused fear in r/s.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. [1John4:18]But why do people still do that??? Because people are self-centred. But LOVE is:
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.[1Corinthians13:4-8]Humans seems to be self-centred. We always want the best for ourselves. We want people to know that we are GOOD... that's why criticise comes in. It's always "I, I & I"... and not "others". I suddenly feels the world is so sucky.
But, i'm so glad i'm a child of God. GOD=LOVE. He loves us, care for us, forgives us, help us, cleanse us. He is not selfish! God is Holy and the most High. He is perfect. But when we doesn't meet up to His standards, He doesn't blame us or abandon us or criticise us (but we did tat to ppl). He loves us as much! I am so greatful for His grace and mercy! Hallelujah!
The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. The LORD is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works. [Psalm145:8-9]Besides that, He gives me FRIENDS (all of u!) to love me, care for me, share my joy n sorrow. How can one live without friends? We are made to fellowship with & love one another!
LOVE is something satan don't have/understand. Satan doesn't understand why Jesus die for us.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. [1John4:10] Satan doesn't know why we sacrifice for God and listen to Him, that's why satan always tries to confuse us and tempt us to sin. Basically, he don't know LOVE. That is why Jesus said,
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” [John13:34-35]It's so great to love and be love. Thankew all my friends, brothers and sister... for all your LOVE! I praise God for all of u!I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing to You among the nations.
For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens,
And Your truth unto the clouds.
[Psalm57:9-10]
