No matter how good the grammar used in qualifying LOVE, It isn't all therein. It's majorly about putting others first. Love is sacrifice. When the Lord loved us He GAVE His son (John 3:16), that is LOVE! Can you imagine you giving your most desirable asset to a total stranger who doesn't even care about you or your gift (1 John 4:9)?
The word LOVE has so many things in it that make it the only thing that holds all things. Love isn't a function of what you think or how you feel. It is about what and how you DO what you do. When what you call Love isn't DOING, then it might probably be any other thing.
We must know that Love can't be defined. Why? The simple answer is that God is LOVE. Someone might want to ask how must we love? I'd love to inform you that there certain things that can't be done without the Holy Spirit (1 John 4:12-13).
You can be successful, happy, and so on due to principles you've applied, but definitely not Love. The first fruit of the spirit is Love (Galatians 5:22), this is the evidence of the holy spirit in you. Why? By their fruit, you shall know them. So when you do things out of Love, it's a simple thing to know, YOU DON'T HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT.
The spirit of God helps in sacrificing what we have ( not necessarily money), but sharing substance and virtue with others. Not in anger, but a cheerful giver is important (2 Corinthians 9:7).
Our God gave a part of Himself for our sin when we were yet sinners ( Romans 5:8) He gave us what we can't afford when we don't even know or care about it yet. He brought us to His saving knowledge so that we can also share what we have received from Him. Whatever you've received, is meant for sharing.
Don't hold it back (1 John 4:11). Whatever you like to hold back while others need it should be given out, give it up for the edification of the church and make souls come to Christ. The Doing Grace Is The Giving And Sacrificing Grace Which Is Wrapped In Love Given By The Holy Spirit. PRAISE GOD!!!
Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...
