Love has a lot to do with your well being. There is a song that says "what does love have to do with it? This is a false misleading statement because love has a lot to do with it. God commands us to love. To love one another. If this was not important then tell me why did God give His only begotten Son for us to have the right to the tree of life.(John 3:16) We are totally told to love one another. Love is also one of the Ten Commandments. What is a commandement? It is a set of orders not suggestion. He did not suggest that you should love. God told you to love.
Jesus also repeated that Love is one of the greatest commandment. To love one another,love your neighbor as yourself and to Love God with all thy heart and soul. He is constantly emphasizing love. He uses 1Corinthians 13:14-18, this is considered the love chapter. God is Love.Love is God. In fact when you see God's name in the bible change reading of it by saying Love.
What is love? Love never fails. Nothing works without it, and there could be no failure with it. It takes faith to believe love will never fail. The natural mind can not understand love, because it only understands selfishness. It believes if you don't look out for no.1, nobody else will. This statement may be right, for selfishness closes the door and he is on his own. God is left on the outside and selfishness is on its own.
But when you practice love by faith,and refuse to seek your own,you put the Farther in action for you. NO man is allowed to do you wrong (1Chronicles 16:33).No weapon that stands before you can prosper. No one has the power to hurt your feelings,because you are not ruled by feelings but by God's love.
This love is revolutionary.If we really understood the great return for living God's love, we would be competing against each other, trying to love the other more. Everyone would emerge from the competition a winner. This would be living the greatest command.(some thoughts from Copeland min.)
Just a thought to keep you walking in love. I call it doing the love walk. You are loved. Live out Loud.
