We all need someone who loves us because we are us; because I am me and you are you, not because of what we have done or what we’ll become.
Jesus tells us to love.
Pastors and teachers and leaders tell us to love. The word says, “God is Love” and only those who love really know God. But who can do it?
Where do I start?
I will let my deepest cry reach the heart of the one who loves me perfectly.
I can’t be a witness without first experiencing the reality. Love is the measure of truth, salvation and discipleship. Scripture says
“5The goal of our faith is real, true, love, that is, a love which is not faked or made up but that which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience.
6Some have wandered away from this and turned to meaningless talk.” So much talk and teaching is meaningless. It is also said, “If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.” How long have I and soooo many others chased after the approval that comes from knowing things and demonstrating our ability with our hearts empty of real love; a love that can’t help itself; a love you don’t have to make happen or force yourself to show?
The worst thing is to think I can mimic or produce the love of God; to live in a perpetual hell where I strive to make of myself what only God can transform me into. He calls me to come and purchase all I need without cost to me. No sacrifice necessary. He has made the provision. I only need to come and drink into my thirsty, thirsty soul the love it has so long been without. I want more. I want lots. Love me God and do not stop! Only then can I love like you do.
Love, Dad, PaPa, Fred.
