Greetings sisters!
I hope you are doing well and are faithful to the Lord on this day!
I was thinking how we definitely want to have the same focus that God does on what is most important in life. We know He has told us that love is foremost, loving God and others. And so we too should focus on it. We live by every word of God so it's all important but as we know basically everything else comes under these. Well of course loving God is obeying Him so we seek in His Word what pleases Him and obey it all that applies to us. And it is all because He first loved us in sending a Saviour to us! Truly there is no glory to man but all to Him! Praise Him for love!
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
We love him, because he first loved us.
1 John 4:16-19
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
1 John 3:16-24
This is truly His great goodness and we do remember His severity that is coming on the unbelievers and sinners. We do not want to sin wilfully after we know this precious truth of His love in Christ!
Just good to ponder our lives and examine how we are doing in everything. We need to keep doing that don't we sisters! But He helps us as without Him we can do nothing. May we keep abiding in the Vine and bearing much good fruit for His glory. And be thankful that He prunes us so we can bring forth more fruit!
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.Hebrews 12:11
Amen let it! Love to my godly sisters who walk in obedience to the Lord, loving Him!
