EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
You are loved, dear ladies of the cross!!! You are loved and valued by God Himself, who sees you, knows your every need, and carries you!
Can we ever love, like Jesus does, the everlasting love He gives us? We can try…
First, we must remember, love is not a feeling. Love is a choice. It is an action. Even when we don’t feel like it, we can choose to love anyway. God chose to love us! We can choose to love others as He commands us to do!
“If I have a Faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13:2)
I notice things on people’s refrigerators, and when I see a scripture, I praise God. It warms my heart. A great note to put to yourself is scripture, and an important one would be one that reminds you to love every day! In fact, notes all around the house, where you often get most aggravated or angry, might help you to remember this one word God commands: LOVE!
ACTING IN LOVE EVEN WHEN WE DON’T FEEL LIKE IT IS ACTUALLY A GREATER EXPRESSION OF LOVE THAN WHEN YOU DO FEEL LIKE IT.
When we act lovingly, eventually, the feelings will start to follow that action. Push yourself. Even when you don’t feel like loving someone else, Love them anyway.
Love the way Jesus loves you!
When you love despite your feelings, you are loving by faith. And honestly, when you really are trying to love, hoping to change the other person…by pursuing and showing them love, it really is changing you too. It makes you more like Jesus. Remember that. ❤️
