iLove

1 John 4:7-12
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.


Love is a strong affection. Pray and ask God to help you to love others like He does. What does love do?

1. Love will have you to focus.

2. Love brings peace

Love is very important. God's love is 100%.

Matt 5:44
⁴⁴ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

We are to love our enemies. Not talking about them means growing up. Love doesn't make you look down on people. Love the father and mother of your child. Love the people who label you. When you love your enemies you will be able to sleep. If God loves us so much the least you can do is love your enemies. If they see the devil in you they will never listen to you. Which ever you grow will manifest the most; love or hate! When you are a leader you have to walk in love. You can't slip.

John 13:34-35
 ³⁴ A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. ³⁵ By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Church is not the building. It is the people. When you walk in love people will know you are full of God.

Psalm 145:20
²⁰ The LORD preserves all who love Him,
         But all the wicked He will destroy.


Proverbs 10:12
¹² Hatred stirs up strife,
      But love covers all sins. 

Galatians 5:6
⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.

Faith works by love. they work hand and hand

Here are more verses:

Romans 13:8-10

⁸ Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. ⁹ For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,”^[“You shall not covet,”and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ¹⁰ Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Proverbs 17:17
¹⁷ A friend loves at all times,
      And a brother is born for adversity.  

Keep in mind that some people are friends and some are associates.

Sometimes you have to let stuff fall off of you for brand new leaves to come. Don't rush it, the new leaves will come.
