Love

If we study how to love, we are studying God, for God is love.  

When you love, you will believe - because love believes all things.  

When love is your goal, nothing and no-one can make you frustrated because no-one can stop you from loving.  But if anything else besides love is your goal, no matter how noble it may be, someone or something can always stand in your way and stop you.  If a Christian has any goal other than love, it isn't the correct goal.

If someone uses you as a ladder to achieve their personal ambition, you could try to compete with them - but as soon as you do, one of you must fail - either them or you.  But if instead you choose to love and serve - you cannot lose, and neither will they.

So when we wake up in the morning, all we need to do is ask, "How can I love today?" because Jesus said, "A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another, as I have loved you."  Simple.  Everything else will happen if we love.  

For example, when you love, you will desire the gifts and manifestations of the Spirit because you know the gifts of the Spirit minister to needs. 

And if we walk in love, we'll never need to fear breaking some part of the Law - because there is no law against love! 

Even prosperity will take care of itself - because prosperity is promised to those who keep the commandment, and love is the fulfilling of the Law.

Neither do we ever need to strive to generate this love - because God already gave us His love-nature when we were born again.  So when God commands us, "Walk in love" - He is not unjust to ask this of us, because He already He has already placed His love in our spirit. Therefore walking in love is do-able - because it's simply a matter of choosing to express what we already have in our spirit.  

We will never lack assurance when we walk in love, because when we love the brethren we know we have passed from death to life.

In heaven it will be those whose motive was to SERVE who shall be accounted the greatest.  

Therefore love is the greatest!

He who loves lives in God and God in Him.  That's what I want! forever.
