Love Strong
I would like to share with you something that the Lord spoke to me in the last week of 2008. I shared it with my partners in our partner letter. I would like to share it with you as well. This is a direct quote from Him. “When you love strong, you will live long.” That is somewhat different than the phrase we have all heard: Live long and live strong.
I truly believe that in 2009 the Love of God is what will carry us above the waves of despair and heartache that the world will be experiencing. God’s Love is the power source of His Kingdom. It is what lights the whole Kingdom of God. It is what gives life to everything and everyone. God is Love; therefore, Love is the very essence or being of God. That Love carries God’s power for us to be victorious in every aspect of our lives. Love Himself is the answer to our prayers; He is the Healer; He is the Provider; He is our Victory; He is our Success; He is all we need. Love, God’s Love, which we call Agapé Love is the undergirding of our lives. He is the very life source of all we need. He will cast out our fears. He will give us confidence. He is the source of our faith, which will produce what we need. Love Himself is living in you and me. Everything God is, is living in us. The very power of God is ours today and every day, all the time, every minute.
When we purpose to love God’s way, we love whether we feel like it or not, whether we are yelled at or spoken to kindly, whether we are appreciated or not appreciated, whether anyone cares or not. We have a Savior Who cares, and because of Him, we care. Say a kind word to that harried clerk at the department store. Smile at those who look stressed. Yield the parking spot to the one who is determined to beat you to it. Open doors for others.
In Romans 5:5 we are told that God’s love is shed abroad, poured forth in our hearts. That love of God which is poured forth has a purpose. It is to bless us and those around us. His love is so powerful that people will respond to it. It is a drawing force that no one can withstand, regardless of how hard and calloused they are. Love draws like a magnet.
This new year of 2009, let’s purpose to LOVE STRONG! As you love strong, you will live long. God’s Love is the source of long life. I pray the fullness of Christ’s Love in your spirits, souls, bodies, relationships and finances. The fullness of God is fullness of His Love in every part of your lives. That is my prayer for you in the new year.
FULLNESS OF AGAPÉ LOVE IN YOU, FOR YOU, AND POURED FORTH FOR THE WORLD!!!!!!!!
