Sorry for the cliché low key wack title lol but this one is
about love folk :) There are some people I really love with all my heart, and
willingly to show my love to as often as possible; but if these people think
that I’m willing to be embarrassed, spat on, brutually beaten and killed in the
most painful way possible so that they can have a chance to be disobedient a
long time and then finally support the cause I died for then I really hope they
get off drugs soon lol
All jokes aside though this is the love of God exemplified
by Jesus. It is Easter so I HAD to say a lil some’n bout that right? I was
going to do this devotional a while back but never got around to it but today
on Fcb I saw a status that was along these same lines and took it as a form of
confirmation. God loved you before you EVER thought about Him. He continued to
love you while (if you were like me) you KNEW better and chose to do your own
thing anyways. Furthermore, He loves you when you're too lazy to be consistent, too
doubtful to walk into the new things He has set before, and on your best days,
when your righteousness is like filthy rags. HE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU! His love
puts mine to shame and I’m actually in touch with my emotions ya'll lol
I know I’m lacking scriptures so far but I’ll use those to
describe how/what love really is in its purest form (God)
1. Love is
sacrificial (John 3:16) for God so loved the world that He…went out and bought
a lot of nice gift that were expensive to prove it? Oh well maybe He called
everyday and said “I love you” as often as possible? No! He gave His only
begotten son, TO DIE as a sacrifice for our sins! The very first thing God does
after His love is presented in this scripture is GIVE! Thus if you are
attempting to love like God does you must be willing to sacrifice and give to
others.
2. Love is
forgiving! God loves us enough to forgive us! Instead of killing Adam and Eve
for their direct act of defiance, He simply put them out of the garden and
allowed them to work for a living and suffer some pain for child birth. Definitely
not the best situation, but their acts could have been rewarded by Him wiping
out the human race and starting over with something else. Furthermore, when God
forgives you He does not bring up your transgressions again! (I thought there
was a scripture about the sea of forgetfulness but I can’t find it smh)
3. Love is
strong and persistent! If you love somebody LIKE really love somebody it takes
a long time to really get over/rid of that feeling TRUST ME! Maybe this is the
reason why God is eternal and He is looking for people that will be with Him
not only during their earthly lives but the rest of forever! Wow that’s crazy!
Finally brethren (straight bible language
on’em lol) love can be described even further in 1 Corinthians 13:4-13, I wont
post it here in the hopes that’ll ya’ll go back and look’em up hehehehe
Over and Out :)
