Love 101

C. Hassel Bullock wrote that "the path to the profound is often paved with the obvious." So it got me to thinking...about love. See recently, there’s been much talk about love, especially in circle of which I am a part of. So I've been wondering the depth of love, mire specifically, the depth with which we love and the depth we are capable of as Children of God. The more and more I thought about it the more complex and deep concept it seemed. But then I thought, if it’s something we are all called to do and be, to love our neighbor (that means everyone), then it must be something we can grasp and apply to our lives.
Side note: If we live in step with God, then the characteristics and attributes that he desires us to have and live in, basically the fruit of the Spirit, begin to manifest themselves naturally. Like if you water a plant, then it grows, so if we feed off of our time with God, then we grow and begin to live out his heart.
Back to the thought. So if we’re spending time with God, and focusing our worship on him, then we love without knowing it. We begin to give people the benefit of the doubt, we stop short of criticizing (even not thinking critically at all), we began to birth a desire to help and serve people, we actually pray for people instead of just saying “I’ll keep you in prayer.” We begin to love like Jesus loves. Cool eh?
So live with Christ, and love like him. Obvious, but profound.
Roach out.
