Alright, So I left you hanging last night BUT to prep. for next Wednesday re-read 2 Corinthians 8:1-8!
What is Love,
Think about it, look at the previous post again and it's baby rolling off a car question, think about why you do what you do in life as a Christian!
We est. If you pursue your Joy in God you will truly be a loving person or You cannot be a truly loving person unless you pursue your joy/happiness in God! What do ya tink`?
Did you find it interesting that as believers, the Macedonians (who just plan rocked) their poverty was not lifted and even still their affliction/suffering increased?
Remember 1 Corinthians 13:3 "And though I give all my possessions to to the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, BUT have not love, it profits me nothing."

By Gods grace and power alone could we be like them! But reading about them has made me want to have that sort of joy and love.
ReplyDeleteWhat is love?
Love is the overflow of our joy in God that meets the needs of others.
The needs don't have to be physical needs like money food etc.. it could be a spiritual need or an emotional need as well.
What is love? Well here's the definition in my dictionary:
ReplyDeleteDevoted affection that binds human to human, or God to human, or human to God.
It will sacrifice all it has to keep the object of it's affection safe, warm and happy. ^_^
It is the strongest of all emotional ties possible...and yet the most fragile. ;)
I do not think it would be and understatement to call it a mystery...
...a beautiful mystery, but a mystery no less.
