Why Do You Love?

To understand the love
of GOD, you must experience it. This love truly is
everlasting and enduring. It is Eternal love.
We learn through
experience the many facets or depths in His light of what
true love is as we are found in the LORD walking in HIS Holy
Spirit. Our souls that are becoming as a fine jewel within
reflect the purity of the light of GOD that His character is
manifest to all.
Selfish love derives
actions to get a selfish return. One may desire to appear as
though they are loving to others that they observe that we
are good and kind for another individual's. Empty words will
eventually bring empty results. GOD sees the heart.
Only true love is
lasting and enduring. It cannot be assimilated or performed
out of false pretence or simply knowledge of rules or
observation of the correct thing to do for approval of
humankind.
The principles of love
are not performed as a duty or by selfish motives because
the Word of GOD says we must. We do not salute those that
are our enemies or hug them in pretentious actions without
GOD knowing about it. What GOD knows is the most important
thing in every relationship. He knows what is really in our
hearts. Before Him we cannot pretend to love or do an action
that appears as if we love when we really don't. He desires
we know the real and true love that comes down from above.
He desires that this love flows through the body of Jesus
Christ one to another.
The world lives a life
of selfish love that feeds self for rewards. True and Holy
love is not something done because we think we should. True,
abiding love of GOD truly, truly loves the one who has
offended us and all who have not. All are loved the same.
This is a love that the world or natural man cannot
comprehend. In this life there is so much acting; it is
truly only understood in the Spirit the love of GOD that
flows forth through another as unadulterated, pure and Holy
Love. This love does not care about the wrongs. This love
covers the multitudes of sins. This love turns the other
cheek. This love is ready always to forgive. This love loves
their enemies with the depths of love that flows from the
very bosom of GOD in purity and deep acceptance. It is a
place enjoined in GOD by the Spirit walking with Him. This
love continuously and eternally is bathed in kindness and
desires to please GOD by abiding in the Word. It is
something that is not performed like a law or a rule. It is
not something that is done forcing oneself so to be accepted
of GOD or man. IT IS A STATE OF BEING and to have become.
It is actually walking
in the manifest character of GOD who is love. This same love
sent Jesus the Son of GOD to die that we, HIS sons and
daughters could live. This love which is found in the will
of GOD in obedience is powerful depths.
This love desires to
give all, everything, so that the body of Christ is one.
This love abides in GOD and obeys and does as the voice of
GOD says daily; for it is then that this love can be
experienced. It is so very one with the One GOD who is love.
There are a lot of
things we can do just to be nice and they are certainly
necessary. There is a place in GOD, however, that lives,
moves and has their being in the depths of the manifest love
that moves with such passion for others that it enlarges the
heart in the very cavity of our natural body with the
movement of the works of the Spirit that flow through in the
power of the resurrection. It is understood only in the
Spirit. This love gives their life for their friends. Yes
and this love gives their life for their enemies if it was
GOD's will to do so. This love was sent and died for those
who despitefully used others. This love saw past all the
negative, fleshly, carnal actions of man and actually died
because the bond of love between the FATHER and SON is
strong and without separation for the oneness is so together
and intertwined in purpose and character, will and motive.
This love cares not for the opinions, actions, and thoughts
good or bad of man. This love loves unconditionally and
moves in purpose.
When one finally comes
to the understanding of this love in depths by the Spirit;
they have only just begun to understand the multitude of
Eternal weight in wisdom of the Spirit works. There is so
much more to learn and experience yet GOD in HIS mercy and
grace bestows this unto man that they would be one as the
SON and the FATHER are one by the same Spirit that raised
Christ Jesus from the dead (John 17).
It is such a great love
that the riches of this world have no value for now the
riches of heaven permeates to the core of the soul in
satisfaction. It is such a great love that the poverty of
this world with the natural eye is replenished with the
riches of the Eternal GOD and understanding is greatly given
and peace, rest and confidence and quietness are found in
its depths. This great love puts no respect for any person
but loves all the same. This love has no desire to please
others but for the pleasure of GOD yet the experience of the
encounter in the Spirit together is more that any pleasure
that this world could ever give. It is a perpetual existence
of longing desire to GIVE THIS LOVE.
This love experiences
grief of GOD when it is rejected in the soul as the union is
greatly one with Him yet it continues to extend in mercy and
grace and desire greatly to bless. This is the love for
which the soul seeks. There is nothing that can fulfill the
desires of any person like this love does. All other desires
are dissipated when one has given all for this love. This is
the love that is only experienced by the Spirit that is put
within humankind by GOD Himself sent through HIS SON. One
must be conceived of the Holy Spirit to enjoy the clarity
and love depths to the furthest point GOD Himself will take
one.
There is nothing that
can separate one from this love of GOD once one has it. Self
may cause disruption in relationship with GOD but HIS love
never dissipates or forsakes anyone that does not blaspheme
the works of HIS HOLY SPIRIT. HIS mercy endures forever and
HE is ever ready to forgive anyone who may ask and take one
deeper and deeper into HIS bosom by HIS arm where HIS hand
holds one into HIMSELF where the depths of love who HE is is
experienced by HIS manifest character (Romans 8).
This love truly forgets
all wrongs done against another. The blood, the work of the
Spirit of GOD that is wholly love does not hold a grudge nor
wish any wrong to anyone ever. This is the SPIRIT of the
LIVING GOD manifest within and experienced by one who is
wholly separated unto Him and whom walks in the purity of
motive daily in the will of GOD. Deeper and deeper HE takes
one to experience yet more and more.
This love is Holy. Seek
Him and you will find Him. Know this love. It is
indescribable in words. It can't be done and is only
understood in the SPIRIT OF ADONAI! It must be experienced.
GOD is Love. GOD is the Word. The Word is Truth. This is
true love. Awesome, absolutely Awesome!
Amen.
LOVE and SHALOM,
