Is it in you?
People, every Christian talks a good talk when it comes to love, but until you love like JESUS loves, then your just talking loud saying nothing.
(1 John 4:18-21) There is no fear in Love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear hath torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.
We love JESUS, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
And this commandment have we from him, That he who loves God love his brother also.
A women stood up at the murder trial of the teen age boy who murdered her 16 year old son, and she told the boy who killed her only son she forgives him, then she adopted the boy as her son, visited him in jail, sent him money, got him educated and loved him like a son!
People, I don’t have too many heroes that’s alive, but this woman does not even know she is one of the few heroes that I have living today!
People, I don’t know about you, but I have done some terrible things in my life before I knew GOD, and I knew GOD had forgiven me for my sins, but my own guilt was eating me up at times, because I had not fully forgiven myself for the things I had done!
People, have you ever been struggling in a certain area in your walk with GOD, and GOD has to show you through somebody else, that he is real?
God had to show me his love through a woman who forgave a teen age boy for killing her only son.
And when that women forgave that boy, and adopted him as her own son, visited him, and loved him like her own son!
I felt like that woman was not only forgiving that boy, but she was forgiving me too, and she showed me GOD’S love is real!
But every Christian talks a good talk when it comes to love, but until you can love like JESUS loves an ex murderer like me, an ex- gangbanger like me, an ex-drug dealer like me, a 4 time felon like me, a whore monger, a career criminal, and a thug like men, then your just talking loud saying nothing.
People, when it comes to love, I would rather see your love, than to hear you talk about Love, and preach about Love.
I’m from Chicago, but pretend I’m from St. Louis, the show me state, and show me your love, don’t just talk about it.
(1 Corinthians 13:1-8) Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become a sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.
And though I give all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and do not have love, it profits me nothing!
Love suffers long, and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up.
Does not behave itself unseemly, does not seek her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil.
Does not rejoice in inequity, but rejoices in truth;
Love bears all things, love believes all things, love hopes all things, love endures all things.
Love never fails.
(John 13:34-35) JESUS SAYS, A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.
(John 15:12-17) JESUS SAYS, This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I do not call you servants; for the servant does not know what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command you, that you love one another.
