How's Your Love Walk?

1 John 3:17 asks if anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?

It is written in Romans 5:5:

And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Matthew 5:46 states:

If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors (sinners) doing that?

Matthew 5:43, 44 states:

43You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy; 44But I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

Today I ask you as I ask myself; How is your (my) love walk? I’m talking to all but especially to those of the household of faith. Do we really love as our Lord loved us; or is the love that we are giving from self, which is limited? How is it that in our services we profess our love for one another yet when we walk out of the church doors that love is nonexistent until we see one another again? How is it that we can have a friend whom we love for years, then the day comes when they disappoint us, hurt us or just do something “dumb”, and the love that we felt strongly, so we have confessed, is gone? Was the confessed love genuine or based on conditions that we fail to state? Jesus loves us unconditionally. Are we to love any less than He does? It is written that they would know us by our love one for another (John 13:35). What does your love say about you? 1 John 4:20 states:

Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. (Selah – Think on this!)

Let us who name that name of the Lord so walk in the love that He shed in our hearts. Lord, help us to love as you love. Without Love how can you forgive? If you don’t forgive, you will not be forgiven (Selah). 1 John 4:21 states:

And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

LOVE is an action word!

Remember there's a sinner's prayer on this site. If you have back-slid or haven't tasted and seen that the Lord is Good, say this prayer. You don't have to be in a church building to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. There is a moment that will happen, and it will happen in a twinkling of an eye (as fast as you can blink), and those who have confessed Jesus as Lord and have walked according to the Word of God will be raptured up to be with Him forever and ever. Yes, it sounds too fantastical to be real, but don't take the chance that it's not and be left behind. So don't put this off. No one knows the hour or the day when this will take place, but it is for us to be ready when it's time to go. The first step is to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. If you say this prayer, contact me; let me welcome you and personally encouraged you in your new life with Jesus!

Did you put your armor on today???
