Galatians 5:22 New King James Version – But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness…
There are dimensions of love the Lord expects from us:
- Love for Himself (God)
- Love for People
- Love for His Purpose for our existence
- Love for Ourselves
Love is when we give ourselves to something irrespective (reckless) the character or the outcome of something.
For God so love the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, after His departure, He sent His Holy Spirit to be with us in this sinful world or earth – that is love, which is very reckless of our God; not thinking about the outcome.
We are on earth for a purpose and without love and its dimensions as listed above, there is no way we can accomplish that purpose why we have been on the earth.
First we have to love the Lord, so we can receive from Him and relate to His children which are hidden in His purpose for our lives and we also need to love ourselves so we treat our bodies in the best way, so purpose can be fulfilled.
God promised us the victory but I beg your burden, it will never be on a silver platter, what will keep you to God, people, purpose and yourself is how much of love you have for the above mentioned personalities.
Life on earth will never be easy, what keeps us is the love we have for the things we believe.
Confession
In the Name of Jesus, I walk in love, towards God, man, purpose and myself, hallelujah, amen!
