Hello all,
This blog is not an entry to promote anything, well almost anything. We all promote something when we blog but what could that be? Well some do promote business opportunities and others may promote a myriad of different things. I have promoted some business that I am affiliated with and I still hold that affiliation but that is not what I want to promote today. What I want to promote is just one thing that being LOVE.
You may say that LOVE is just to broad an emotion to define let alone to promote. I would disagree with you strongly and say this LOVE can be clearly seen and seen not only with your eyes but by your actions. LOVE is not only a noun but LOVE is also a verb. I don't know who came up with that saying but when I look at it I see a profound truth. It is the same truth that I see in the Bible in 1st Corinthians Chapter 13. The LOVE Chapter as many of my astute contemporary's will explain it.
This is where they get the well known passage that you hear at just about all of the christian weddings; Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; [5] it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; [6] it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. [7] Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. [8] Love never ends;----LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, as the Beatles sang it, "all we need is LOVE."
Today in this people often look around for LOVE and they don't find the kind of LOVE t6hat they think they need.
And yet this LOVE is not as far away from them than they think. I make that statement to say this that GOD is LOVE! this also is in the Bible in 1st John Chapter 4 [8] He who does not love does not know God; for God is love. [16] So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.This is no trick to get you to believe anything, I know that you are going to believe what you want to believe no more, no less.
But just think of this concept. A LOVING GOD! I am not going into the petty arguments of if God is so LOVING then why this and why that. You can blame shift on your own time I don't have the time right now nor the inclination. Please try to get your mind around this; GOD is LOVE! You may do well to spend some time here and even meditate upon that one thing that GOD IS LOVE, this could set you free! In meditation I am not saying that you block all things out of mind to achieve nothingness. What I am saying is to block all but the phrase GOD is LOVE and thereby open your mind to all the possibilities of this great truth and thereby find the LOVE that you have been seeking. It is just that simple!
Being able to say that GOD IS LOVE is the first step to take to know this love that so eludes people who want to find some reason why they feel so miserable. The more they feel this way the more they want to relieve themselves of the reason for their problems.
Blaming God is one of the things that the worldly may take up and this to their detriment. But when you can say with full assurance that GOD is LOVE, the more of that weight will be lifted from your shoulders. The next step for one to take is an easy step indeed for you already know that GOD is LOVE! This is a three word solution and it is; GOD LOVES ME! This is another phrase for meditation, Fill your mind with nothing but GOD LOVES ME and the possibilities are endless.
So have you come to realize that; GOD IS LOVE AND GOD LOVES ME! It is one of the greatest truths that has ever been revealed to man. In all the centuries and eons that have passed one truth still remains common to man and that is; GOD IS LOVE AND GOD LOVES ME! Here is an exercise that you can do to help you with this truth daily, go to your favorite mirror look straight into the eyes of the person that looks back at you and say, GOD IS LOVE AND GOD LOVES ME! It may take more than one time in fact you can rely on that so say it again GOD IS LOVE AND GOD LOVES ME! and again GOD IS LOVE AND GOD LOVES ME! Until you can say it with confidence and believe it, which will build your own confidence to the max.
There is one more step that you need to make in this trilogy of believing and that is...................John chapter 3. And that is your home work until the next time I post. Please read the whole Chapter and more than once. Let this knowledge sink in to your mind and understanding and you may just have a revelation of your own. Until next time may God richly bless you and yours.
