Love

You know, love is very important in our walks with the Lord. All of Christianity revolves around it. The fruits of the Spirit come from love. If we didn't love the person next to us, we would have no desire to have self-control, be kind, gentle, have joy, peace, patience, gentleness, or anything else that is mentioned in the Bible. If Jesus didn't love us, He wouldn't have died on the cross for us. If God didn't love us, He would have no mercy or compassion. He would not want anything to do with us. He wouldn't have even created us in the first place. man! Think about that. What a wonderful Lord. If we didn't love Jesus back for all of the things He has done, we wouldn't be nice to people, or care about anyone. Our kindness and fruits of the Spirit come from our loving relationship with Jesus. If we don't love Him, we will be the average Joe, just living our lives like nothing matters. It's so important to talk to Jesus and experience this love. I am starting to get up every morning and pray, "Lord, I don't know what you have for me today, but you tell me in Ecclesiasties 3 that everything has a season. I trust you know what you're doing, considering you made me and all that I am to be for you. Thank you for giving me the strength to ride on the wings of eagles. Help me not to take offense to anything, and help me sacrifice my problems and junk to You. Thanks for EVERYTHING! I love you so much." I just talk to Him. He won't bite. There's no need to be completely "heal this person, give this person freedom, do this, do that, ..." There's a time for that, but sometimes we just need to love on God. To let Him know how much we appreciate what he has done for us. He's our best friend. I don't know about you, but I encourage my earthly best friend. She means a lot to me. God means even more, so I should talk to Him at least as often as I do to my earthly best friend. After all, He did create her. Without God, I wouldn't even have her to talk to.
