You can tell a lot about people by the way they treat strangers, and the people they don’t know!
What good is it to run to a church building, pay tithes, give offerings, give your time, your money, and your commitment to a church building, but you run over the needy homeless person on your way to church?
What good is it to give your all to the pastor, and the building called the church, but you don’t appreciate the strangers in your midst?
What is the purpose of your love, if you can only love people who are Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hebrew Israelite’s, and Catholics like you are, but can’t love sinners?
For JESUS came to save sinners, not the self-righteous folks!~
What good is your love if your love is conditional, and you only show love to people who meet the conditions of what you think love is or should be?
(Hebrews 13:1-3) Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
Brothers and sisters, Sometimes GOD will position people to receive the blessings he has for them, but the blessing is connected to the people GOD sends to you!
And the way you receive those people is going to determine whether you receive what GOD has for you or not!
The word of GOD says, be careful to entertain strangers: for some have unknowingly entertained angels without knowing!
Brothers and sisters , What if GOD was showing up in your life whenever or wherever he wants to show up in your life, but the way GOD shows up in your life is not the way you’re expecting GOD to show up?
What if GOD chose to show up as a prostitute, a drug dealer, a homeless person, a bum, a child, a repented child molester, a prisoner, a cripple, a blind man, a drunk, a murderer, or an unbeliever, would you receive GOD?
Will you give GOD the gift of love he is looking for?
For love is always looking for love!
Many people don’t receive GOD or the blessings GOD has for them, because they want GOD on their own terms, but GODS ways are not man’s ways, and neither is GOD’S thoughts man’s thoughts, GOD’S ways and GOD’S thoughts are so much higher than our ways and thoughts!
Brothers and sisters , I’m an open minded man when it comes to GOD ways, and I am going to receive everything GOD has for me, because I know GOD is GOD, and I know GOD will do exceedingly abundantly above all I can think or ask, according to the power that works in me!
And I am constantly looking for crazy insane things to happen in my life, because I know GOD is an amazing GOD who wants to do amazing things in my life!
So I’m looking for GOD to use anybody, anywhere, anyhow, and by any means necessary, because I know my GOD is an amazing GOD, and all things are possible for me in CHRIST JESUS, because I believe!
Brothers and sisters, GOD likes being GOD, and he likes doing amazing things for me, and in my life, because he knows I like to let GOD be GOD in my life, and I like surprises!!
The JESUS kind of love!
Brothers and sisters, everyone is preaching about love, and how we should love each other as brothers and sisters in CHRIST JESUS!
But people, you can’t use the word love as a defense mechanism so people cannot tell you the raw uncut truth of GOD’S word, because we love you enough to tell the truth!
THE JESUS KIND OF LOVE!
Brothers and sisters, JESUS love is not jealous, love is not envious, hateful, spiteful, vindictive, stuck in your past, JESUS love does not betray or uncover, because JESUS love covers!
But what kind of love do you have?
(John 14:21) JESUS SAYS, he that has my words, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
(John 14:23) JESUS SAYS, if a man loves me he will keep my words: and my father will love him, and we will come in unto him, and make our home with him.
Brothers and sisters, love is not some cliché we use to get what we want from people, to make people do what we want them to do!
Love is so much more than you just saying you love someone, because love is more than some feel good inspirational words we say!
Love is more than feelings, because feelings are nothing more than feelings, for you might feel like you’re in love today, you might feel like you’re not in love tomorrow, but those are just feelings, not the JESUS kind of love, true love!
Brothers and sisters, you can talk about love until the end of time, but if your love does not resemble JESUS love, then you’re just talking loud saying nothing!
Brothers and sisters, if you want to know what true love is, then you have to look at JESUS, because he is the exact image of true love!
Can you imagine JESUS loving you knowing you’re going to betray him to his enemies, and he is still trying to love you to repentance?
Can you imagine JESUS loving you knowing you’re going to deny him three different times, knowing you’re not perfect, and knowing you have violent tendencies, but the love of JESUS sees you beyond your failures, and his love sees the potential of leadership in you, and he makes you the leader of his church despite all your imperfections?
Can you imagine JESUS loving you knowing you’re a murderer killing his followers for the sake of religion, but the love of JESUS sees the potential in you beyond your sins against him, for love knows if you will do these things for the sake of religion, then you will set the world on fire for the truth of GOD’S word, for love!
Can you imagine GOD making you his anointed king, but GOD knows you’re going to kill a man for his wife, commit adultery, and lie, but GOD’S love sees the great mercy in your heart, and love has to show great mercy to mercy despite your sins against GOD, and your still GOD’S anointed king despite your great sins against GOD, because you gave mercy and love, & you reaped GOD’S mercy and HIS love!
Brothers and sisters, love is not just a word or some cliché, the love of GOD is JESUS CHRIST, but you will never know GOD’S love if you don’t know JESUS, and you can’t operate in true love if you don’t keep JESUS words!
For only JESUS is the way, the truth, and the life, and JESUS is love, but does your love resemble JESUS love?
(1 Corinthians 13:4) love suffers long, and is kind; love is not jealous, love is not envious, love does not boast about itself, love is not prideful,
love does not behave itself unseemly, love does not seek its own, love is not easily provoked, love thinks no evil, love is not suspicious;
love bears all things, love believes all things, love hopes all things, love endures all things.
Love never fails.
Brothers and sisters, JESUS SAYS, If a man loves him, then that man will keep my words!
(John 14:23) JESUS SAYS, If a man loves me he will keep my words: and my father will love him, and we will come in unto him, and make our home with him.
