If I am destitute of love, I am nothing

[laurza]

Jesus...over the past weeks He has been capturing my heart. I realise how loving Him and being loved by Him is setting me free. Love, love is the answer. I was reading in Ephesians about how I am to walk in the light and uncover the works of darkness...but this is preceded by love. I hate how this love, this deep, amazing love is so misunderstood and so cheapened that we resort to 'turn or burn' philosophy to try and convert people. What ever happened to loving people, regardless of the outcome? Every single person on this planet just wants to be loved, and in my mind, who would ever run from that? Who could run from the love of God, a God who is so vast, so deep, so intimate that His love is what causes our hearts to beat and our lives to sing. Regardless of whether we believe, or think we believe at all. I need a revelation of His love, because God IS love, His whole being is love and yet this in many ways can be forgotten and swept aside in favour of a foundation built of argument, reason and finger-pointing which inevitably causes discord. I urge you to love. And if you are struggling with that, to go to the Father who loves you so intimately and deeply.

1st Corinthians 13:2

If I am destitute of love, I am nothing.
