I know what love is. God is love. I have always learnt about the agape love of God; the selfless love.
It has however come to my attention that we can know who love is and what love is but not be able to practice it. We can do all we want to prove that we love people and do things to prove our love. We want to be like God and we try so hard to do things the way we “think” He wants us to do. We want so much for people to know that we are filled with God’s love to the point where we do things that God did not tell us to do.
It would be a great thing if we could all stick to what the Lord has told us to do and nothing more because anything beyond that will only lead to frustration. Can you believe that sometimes as Christians we do things just because we want to look blessed? We get into credit; we do a lot of crazy things because we want to look loved and blessed by God.
My plea to anyone reading this is “stick to what God tells you to do” do not try to prove to the world that you are loved and blessed; because you are. You are already blessed. God says so “you are blessed and you are loved.”
Be careful to do all that God tells you to do, so that you do not have to pretend. Be careful to do all that God tells you to do so that you do not forfeit your blessings. Amen, yes Amen.
