Morning Line: Growing in Love!!
“Your love for one another is growing.” 2Thessalonians 1:3
When Apostle Paul says, Your love for one another is growing,” it’s not the kind where life’s perfect and everybody accommodates you. Know this God’s intention is to “grow” you into the kind of love that’s not defined by your feelings, but by a sacrificial love that says,
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20)
It’s possible to be in love with the idea of a perfection without actually loving. We have a choice when it comes to loving a family member, friend, or one passing by to know it’s a growing process that puts your love and faith to the test.
Jesus said, “As I have loved you…you must love one another” (John 13:34), and He never asks us to do anything without giving us the ability to do it. So are you ready to do a little growing?
When we’re hurt it’s common to withdraw, that’ okay for the moment.
But strive not to withhold Jesus Christ’s love, grace, and mercy to a hurting heart it grows when it’s nurtured with unconditional love. Grace, care, and empathy doesn’t depend on behavior, mood or circumstances. Being pleasing does not equate to being lovable. Imagine if Jesus loved us only when we behaved perfectly. We’d never experience His affection, and consequently we’d wither away.
“Christ Jesus is our example, we need to love others with a Christ like grace. He loves us according to His capacity, not according to the degree of our merit. We must love others…not by our standards but by His.
Ponder this lesson, pray Lord help me love and wrap my arms around the ones the test my ability to extend grace, mercy, and Christ like Love.
You are chosen for this space and time in God’s time line, to make a difference prepare your heart, mind, and spirit.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart… In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
God has a Great Word for you!
You matter your Story matters live expectantly!
Trust God, Trust His Love, Trust His “Word”, Trust the Process!
