Loving One Another.

-Meditation-

1 John 3:11-15

--TheSecretPlace--

So I am currently thinking about how the LORD really does use the small things in life to bless us, and my thought is... Why? Why Lord would you do that? He does more than I realize--His blessings couldn't be more obvious... And even when things are horrible, and life doesn't seem to be going good, He pours out yet another blessing, and blows me away!! It's like when you pray for someone, and awesome things start to happen in their lives, because you took time to care about them, and lift them up to the Lord. Blessings come from loving others--blessing others, even when it seems unnecessary. I know that we receive blessings from those who love us, and care about us... Those things make life special. So I am thinking about this, and the question in my mind of course is.... How can I love others better? How can I bless them? and How do I love those who I don't really want to love, or those who I really don't like?

I have found that there is only ONE WAY to do this!! AND YOU GUESSED IT!!----- Its PRAYER.

I have found that when the Lord has led me to pray for people.... that sadly I didn't want to pray for, I have come to love them with His abundant love, and instead of having a heavy heart against them, I have come to love them with JOY.---Because when you pray for others, you begin to see them just as the LORD sees them.

How amazing is our God!! That He would give us an open door to love.

We are really commanded to love one another--as a choice of will-- We can not love if we do not want to love.

I believe love is the roadway to blessing. LOVE is the source of blessing, and when we love much, we are blessed much, and we bless much, and the two most amazing things is to bless God, and to be blessed by God!!

---Intercession---

I want to challenge each of you to think of someone you don't exactly get along with, and think of people who make you mad, and you don't like to be around, and I want to challenge you to really get on your face and PRAY for them! Pray for those who you consider rude, or selfish, and mean, and annoying, and get the LORD's heart for them. Ask God how He feels about them, and do all you can to LOVE THEM WELL, with the LOVE OF GOD.

Jesus, you are such a lover, You bless me, and You bless your people, because You love us. Teach us how to pray what is on your heart. Teach us Holy Spirit how to be like You. We love You, and Thank you for bringing us through this wilderness with plenty of food, and water to get us through. We love You, and love to gaze upon your beauty! Help us to love others the way You love them, and help us to love You with Your own love. We need You Lord, and we cry out to you to pour out your Spirit, and awaken us. Jesus, You are the King of glory, and we want to give YOU ALL of the glory! We love You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Jesus, You are so COOL!!!

Just as we want to be

Be blessed in the Name of Jesus. 

much love to you.
