Love Is On The Move

"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him."
1 John 3:1

Love is on the move. I must say these past couple of weeks I have felt the love of God moving throughout my life and my world. I have to confess I have been convicted lately with how intentional I have been as a Christian this past semester. I have been doing 'nice' things, but where is God's glory? Have I forgotten who my deeds are for? As Christians I feel as though that is one of our weaknesses; we forgot who we live for. It's comes down to what love is. Is love an act of kindness towards someone? Is love a soft-spoken word to someone in pain? Is love a hard-hearted donation? None of those things have any impact if they aren't fueled towards true love. I have forgotten what Love is. My God is love. Everything we do is for the Glory of God. Every loving touch, soothing word, every hand we reach out to the afflicted is all for the glory of the Father. We do all of these deeds, but we have not love!

"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal."
1 Corinthians 13:1

We speak the words of God to those in need and God is in our tounges, but not in our minds and hearts. It is imperative that we love intentionally and we love for the glory of what God will do through that.

I can feel God hand moving over us, but this is our challenge: love intentionally. I am challenging myself and challenging you to love with reason. Love for the sake of Christ and we will see love move through our world like a wild fire. A wild fire that would be unextinguishable. Just look around at your schools, your workplace, and your community, people are dying to believe in something. They are dying for something eternal to cling to because everything around them is crumbling. Be the one who genuinly shows them what that Love they are searching for is. Be intentional with your love. Love is not a philosphy, love is a Man, and that man is Jesus Christ.

"Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."
1 John 3:18

Love is on the move.
