Fruit of the Spririt

LOVE

I dont know about you but i especially need love when i am feeling tired and burdened down.  At times like these, i usually dont feel up to loving other people and I only want to love those who are nice to me.  And you see, i am always feeling tired .......how??

 

I was at Mount Zion yesterday during lunch, thinking of looking for a bible for my litte boy.  While i was there, i stumble upon a book titled growing in the fruit of a spirit...i thought... should i get it or maybe not since i have quite a few books on my mind that i wish to complete reading them this year.  This book is not cheap but I end up getting the book instead of bible.

 

In chapter 1 of this book it says......To recognize that there is someone i do not love is to say to God, "i  do not love You enough to love that person."....we are to serve simply because God lives in us and wants to extend His love to all people through us (Romans 5:5)..Love is the sacrifice of self, it involves effort, not merely emotion.  It demands action, not just feeling,  it is something we do, not something we only feel or say....Being loving the people God puts in your path by first loving those at home.  As the saying goes, "What you are at home is what you are!"  So be a woman who walks in God's love at home.

 

I am not letting the month of January past without putting what i have read into practice.  Amen.

 

Love, Just.
