To love one another God’s way

“Little children, let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity).” When someone tells you they love you, what do they really mean. Well, from a man who has an inordinate desire to be with a woman, a man who only wants his own needs met, we’re not talking about that kind of love. A person who uses those magical words, “I love you”, knowing most people just want to be loved or shown love, it can be a trap. There are many predators out there who know how to play that game. The agape love of God is the love that gives, not takes. Agape love in action will never be self-serving. It is actually the opposite of that predator love. To tell someone we agape love them is important, but to show them by our actions is priceless. A child knows the love of the parents by the consistent caring for them over the years. Helping them in difficult situations and circumstances, encouraging them through their troubles. The love of God is a sacrificial love that never tires or gives up. It’s a love that has completely detached from self comforts and willful energies. This love mirrors the Father’s image on earth, He sees Himself in our actions when we show and demonstrate His love to others. Even our words or speech should demonstrate His love by the way we say things, and even more importantly, how we say things. To love others with pure motives based on truth, will represent the Lord’s kindness, and mercy even unto the listeners salvation. Let us love one another.
