-Meditation-
1 Corinthians 12&13


--TheSecretPlace--

Hello all.

Today, I was thinking, and praying about Gods will for the church, and I just felt like He told me that He wanted there to be a release of 1 Corinthians 12 and13.

And honestly I thought it kinda funny.... Because chapter 12 talks about all of the spiritual gifts Jesus desires us to have, and then chapter 13 talks about how if we don't have love then none of those gifts-Jesus gives- are worth anything.

Because God's focus in spiritual gifts, I believe is to push us on towards love, and if our spiritual gifts are leading us to selfishness, then we have abused the gifts God gives us, because we aren't using them in love.

This is a very interesting, and intriguing thing.... I know that God would rather His people love Him, than to merely be able to speak in tongues, or prophesy, the very focus of God Himself-Is LOVE.
 
Now that is a profound statement, I understand, but it is what I believe to be absolutely true.

We need this nailed to our hearts-God loves us.
Jesus loves me

Yes it is what 'church people' say, and you hear this ALL THE TIME! BUT!!! This is the door into understanding who we live for. Even before we thought about loving God, He loved us. And that is profound.

I hope we can all see this in the fullness of what it is... Because this is truly an amazing thing.
No one can tell you, you are unloved, and not cared for and be right because our confidence is in what the LORD says about us, and that is that we are the very apple of His eye! WE have stolen the God of the universes HEART!!! AND HIS GAZE!!!

This is amazing!!
Praise God!
 
I just thought I would share this with you, and my prayer for you is that you would really and truly TASTE and SEE that the LORD IS GOOD, O to catch a glimpse of goodness!!

---Intercession---

Father of glory, thank you for opening up blind eyes, and deaf ears. I just pray that you would help us to walk in Your love, the love of God-the love of You.
I pray that You would strengthen us by the power of Holy Spirit, and empower us to love you with all that we  are.
We love You, in Jesus Name.
