LOVING IS LIVING: DIVINE LOVE – GIVES A MORE EXCELLENT WAY!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“But covet EARNESTLY the BEST gifts: and yet shew I unto you A MORE EXCELLENT WAY . . .”<\/i>\u00a01 Corinthians 12:31 – 1 Corinthians 13:1-13.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stop struggling to love. You are not born of God to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL in love. You are born of God to THRIVE, BLOSSOM and COLOUR your worlds of doing life and living godly in love. We are born of God in Christ Jesus by the WORD, to radiate His LOVE that He lavishly shared and poured into our hearts [the human spirit], by the Holy Spirit that dwells in us. For GOD IS LOVE and as such, LOVE\u00a0is\u00a0of God. And LOVING is LIVING. And LIVING is EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit of LOVE.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS BY THE HOLY GHOST WHICH IS GIVEN UNTO US”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 5:5.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The one who DOES NOT LOVE has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for GOD IS LOVE. [He is the ORIGINATOR of love, and it is an enduring ATTRIBUTE of His NATURE.] . . . 16 We have come to know [by personal observation and experience], and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] THE LOVE which God has for us. GOD IS LOVE, and the one who ABIDES in LOVE ABIDES in God, and God ABIDES continually in him”<\/i>\u00a01 John 4:8, 16\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The most excellent way to enjoy and express God’s love, is the resolve to be the love GIVER than to DEMAND for love. Genuine LOVE GIVES, it doesn’t DEMANDS, and what makes a unique or the unique difference between anyone is this knowing and understanding – IT’S MORE BLESSED TO GIVE [LOVE] THAN TO RECEIVE [LOVE] –\u00a0that’s why our God is outstanding\u00a0in all His ways – ever loving even when He’s unloved and unaccepted. CAN’T YOU LIVE IN SAME\u00a0LIKE\u00a0SPHERE AS HIS OWN IN CHRIST JESUS?\u00a0[Romans 5:5, 8; Acts 20:35; Ephesians 3:17-19; John 13:34-35; John 15:9-16; 1 John 3:11-24; 1 Corinthians 14:1; 1 Peter 4:8].<\/b>\u00a0For God so LOVE, He GAVE love without prejudice,\u00a0sentiments\u00a0and dissimulation in Christ Jesus –\u00a0[John 3:16; Romans 12:9].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And until you resolve to be the love GIVER, rather than the one that DEMANDS for love, you will struggle to express love in an EXCELLENT way. And the EXCELLENT way of genuine living is emboldened in DIVINE LOVE. And\u00a0it’s\u00a0WORTH, SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS way beyond all human reasoning – SENSES – by what you do smell, see, taste, hear and feel\/touch.\u00a0[Ephesians 3:17-19].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you A MORE EXCELLENT WAY . . .”<\/i>\u00a01 Corinthians 12:31 – 1 Corinthians 13:1-13.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For God SO LOVED the world, that HE GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”<\/i>\u00a0John 3:16.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I have SHEWED you all things, how that so\u00a0labouring\u00a0ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said,\u00a0It\u00a0is MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE”<\/i>\u00a0Acts 20:35.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Beloved, let us LOVE one another: FOR LOVE IS OF GOD; and\u00a0every one\u00a0that loveth is born of God, and\u00a0knoweth\u00a0God. 8 He that loveth not\u00a0knoweth\u00a0not God; FOR GOD IS LOVE. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might LIVE through him . . . 16 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. 17 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. 18 There is no FEAR IN LOVE; BUT PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: BECAUSE FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that\u00a0feareth\u00a0is not made perfect in love . . .”<\/i>\u00a01 John 4:7-21.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision\u00a0availeth\u00a0anything, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, BUT BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER”<\/i>\u00a0Galatians 5:6, 13.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may ABIDE WITH you\u00a0forever; 17 even the Spirit of truth; whom the world CANNOT receive, because it SEETH him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you”<\/i>\u00a0John 14:16-17.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Now before the feast of the\u00a0Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having LOVED his own which were in the world, he LOVED them unto the end . . . 34 A NEW COMMANDMENT I give unto you, That ye LOVE ONE ANOTHER; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men KNOW THAT YE ARE MY DISCIPLES, if ye have LOVE one to another”<\/i>\u00a0John 13:1, 34-35.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“So that Christ may DWELL in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] ROOTED and [securely] GROUNDED in love, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God\u2019s people) the WIDTH and LENGTH and HEIGHT and DEPTH of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the FULLNESS of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God\u2019s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]”<\/i>\u00a0Ephesians 3:17-19. Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“LET LOVE BE WITHOUT\u00a0DISSIMULATION. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10. Be\u00a0kindly affectioned one to another with BROTHERLY LOVE; in\u00a0honour\u00a0preferring one another . . . 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he\u00a0thirsts, give him drink: for in so\u00a0doing\u00a0thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21. Be\u00a0not\u00a0overcome of\u00a0evil, but\u00a0overcome evil with good”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 12:9-21 [Proverbs 25:21-22; Matthew 5:38-48].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit;\u00a0so,\u00a0shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the\u00a0Father\u00a0hath LOVED me, so have I LOVED you: CONTINUE YE IN MY LOVE. 10. If\u00a0ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE IN MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father\u2019s\u00a0commandments, and\u00a0ABIDE IN HIS LOVE. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 THIS IS MY\u00a0COMMANDMENT\u00a0THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. 13 Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant\u00a0knoweth\u00a0not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not CHOSEN me, but I have CHOSEN you, and ORDAINED you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give\u00a0it\u00a0you”<\/i>\u00a0John 15:8-16.<\/b>\u00a0
