The word for today is - Showing!

Good morning,

The word for today is - Showing!

 

 

An day early.There's nothing wrong with showing your love and affection for the people you love. The question isn't, "How do you show your love on Valentine's Day?" The real question is, "How do you show your love all year?"A word for this kind of love  is, "agape". The Merriam-Webster Dictionary gives agape this definition, "self giving loyal concern that freely accepts another and seeks his or her good".   According to the Bible, true love is agape love it's consistent, it holds another person higher than oneself. In other words, love is humble and willing to put other people first.  Some view love as a feeling, but it is more than that, it's a decision followed by action. Read John 13:34-35, Jesus said, "If you love me, keep my commandments" and "A new command I give unto you, That ye Love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men  know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." The apostle Paul wrote in 1Corinthians 13:4,"Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up" The greatest example of love was when Christ hung on the Cross. Read 1Corinthians 16:13-14, Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity.This is the order giving to us by the word of God.  Read Ephesians 4:23-24, And be renewed in the spirit of your mind. And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.We need to put on the fruit of the Spirit of God everyday. When you get up first give thanks, then put of the Fruit of the Spirit of God, then get dress. Amen ! What Spirit is this read Galatians 5:22-23,But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,meekness,temperance: against such there is no law. Also read verse 25, If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. John also tells us in 1John 4: 7,Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. God expects us to show love towards each other every day, not just on Valentine's Day .Thank you God for your word.Amen !
