Hello beautiful VWOG, I pray this finds you all well. Todays blog comes from Love and all the misconceptions. As an American culture we throw around love like its a used wash towel or an old shoe, when its dirty or worn we just toss it in the washer in attempt to bring it back to life or we pass it to the next like a shirt at a yard sale (priced below value) or we toss it out. What is this thing called Love? Is it a person, a noun, verb, feeling or emotion? What is it? Well to most of us its sex, a brief feeling that last until we feel betrayed or disappointed! Or a romanticized display of emotions that are conditioned based. Is that real love? Its so cliche but let's see what God says love is.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
-1 Corinthians 13:4-7
As I said for most of us this passage is cliche (even though we don't live by it) so let's bring it to our life. Reread the scripture above BUT this time everywhere it says love insert your name. So it would be like :
VWOG is patient, VWOG is kind. THEY do not envy, They do not boast, They are not proud. They do not dishonor others, They are not self-seeking, they are not easily angered, they keep no record of wrongs. VWOG does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. They always protect, always trust, always hope, always persevere.
Hmmmm....dont you feel like we missed the mark. Yeah, me too. Now go back and do it again but replace love with God. Wow, right. Doesn't that make you feel excited, kind of special! Everyday we strive to be more like God so everyday we take His hand and allow Him to show us what love is. So what is love, that's easy. God is love, and there is no love without GOD.
