You've got to be kidding me. God, what are You trying to say?
2 Saturdays ago, Weston taught about Love, one of the fruits of the spirit, during Disciple Group class. I remembered: Agape love, Phileo love, Intimate love and Self love.
1 Saturday ago, Pastor Rachel spoke of Loving One Another and how we can build healthy relationships with one another.
This week, I read of Love everywhere and was reminded of Love all the time. Coincidence? Or a time to listen and obey?
I admit that I'm a sucka for love, seriously. Sometimes it's so hard to love as well, but after all, I'm only human. That's no excuse I know, but I'm trying.. especially when God seems to be giving way obvious clues now. And although I love myself to be narcissistic, to abstain from alcohol, drugs, smoking, tattoo-ing, and body piercing, I find myself in a constant battle of self love when it comes to dealing with my inferiority, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, and brokenness.
"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does." James 1:22-25 (NIV)
Wow. Seems like a call for action to start on Project Love. God, please help me to give like I've got plenty, love like I'm not afraid. And because You've commanded it, I will obey.
