The Nature Of Love

The Nature of Love

the nature of love

God’s Love, by its very nature, is an active and creative power within the soul of man. Creation is proof of God ever seeking, ever desiring to expend and lavish His love in new dimensions. The Word declares that we were “created for His pleasure,” and it is His pleasure to pour out Himself in unmeasured and unmerited means. His Love in us seeks, desires, and ever works to color everything within its reach, not to own, rule, or control but to inspire others to live fully in God.

The infinite and all-encompassing God whom our forefathers sought with passion calls us to depths unknowable and heights unsearchable.

“Deep calleth unto deep”
Psalm 42:7

The Love of God is the call, and His Love in man is the response.

“We love Him because He first loved us.”
1 John 4:19

“He said “Love…as I have loved you.”
We cannot love too much.”

Authenticity

Authenticity

transparency

“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
2 Corinthians 3:18

“Authenticity (TRUE BEING) is not the result of a man being true to himself, rather it is the fruit of a life that (by God’s Grace) has become TRUE IN GOD. It is in the seeing of HIM that I know myself (see Isaiah 6, Revelation 1:12–17). HE is the TRUTH, and it is in the seeing of HIM alone are we changed from the corruption of ourselves into HIS LIKENESS!”
– Brian Troxel (Quoted from his book “Paths of the Shepherd“)

The Evidence of Reconciliation

The Evidence of Reconciliation

the evidence of reconciliation

“…that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.”
2 Corinthians 5:19-20

“Obedience is the consequence of reconciliation, whatever the depth that my will has been brought into compliance with His is the revelation of His work of “reconciling my world unto His”.
