I believe the Lord has impressed this on my heart. With out the Lord I know that I am in darkness. My spirit is not as it should be. I have moments in time that I have enjoyed. I also love people a great deal, when we love it brings about great joy. The love we have for our parents, husbands and wife's, and our children and boy friends and girl friends, God wants us to love him above everyone, above everything. When we truly put Christ first in our lives and love him first that's when we see change. I have seen a change in myself. With Christ first I no longer love my self above others. I have began to love others differently I see God has open my eyes to see them as the Lord has seen them all a long. Just as the Lord has seen me all long LOST without him. I have began to see things in a new light. Why would God want's me to put him first? Could it be maybe that I could love like he does? How could that be? How could I love like Christ does? Only if Christ is first can this possibly be. If Christ is first their is change in me! I no longer have a heart that is full of PRIDE, because I see the sin in PRIDE! What does PRIDE do? Pride puts us above others any time we are put above others it is wrong! God say we are all created equally! How can that be? Some are born rich and others are born poor. Some of us are born without handy caps and others are born with handy caps. What then would make us born equally if we are not all born the same? The only thing I can think of is, could it be God the Creator of the heaves, earth and universe, love for us. What else would make us more equal then that! Only the love that God has for us makes us all the same! Why love God with all hearts? So we can love like him! What kind of a impact would that make on other peoples lives! What type of a impact would this make on our own lives! Jesus you said, that the greatest commandment is to Love others as our self. We all know we love our self. But can we really love someone as we love our self. I wonder are we willing to forgive some one like we are so quickly to forget what we our self have done. I think not I think we like to hang on to what others have done to us. We do not like to forget. We have a hard time letting go because we lack the the love that is true love that is a forgiving love a love from the heart. Lord let us Love as you have loved us unconditionally. Teach us from the Heart to be as you are! Take me out of darkness and bring me into the light so that I can be free indeed! Without love we are not free we live in bondage our hearts are chained to darkness. Let your Light free me O God. Let your light overcome the darkness of my heart and break the chains that hold me captive. What is your purpose for me? Is it to love others as myself? Is it so that we can become one as you have said , brothers and sister in Christ as you are one with the Father. Is this love commandment so that we can be unified as a body a body with so many parts every part with its special purpose . Let us love the body as our self. Let us care for a part of the body that might have a wound. Let us tend to the wound and bring about a healing out of the love of Christ Jesus! Let the head of are body be Christ Jesus and let are Lord guide us in Love a true Love so that we can be one!
Jesus Prays for Believers John 17: 20-26 NIV
20" My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me, 22 I have given them the glory that you have given me, that they may be one as we are one: 23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
24" Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
25" Righteous Father, thought the world does not know you, I know you and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you known to them and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."
What is Jesus saying when he say, that all of them may be one? Just as the Father and the son are one. Jesus is saying that God the Father and him are one. Jesus is also saying that we are one with him that would also make us one with the Father. This is a gift. We can never attain this on our own. This is only though Jesus and only because Jesus was obedient to the will of the Father out of Love. Their for we should be obedient to the son out of Love if we are not obedient it is because we are lacking Love.
Lord can we change? Lord can our hearts become like yours? Lord can we love as you love? Lord will we ever have the purity of love that you have? Lord change our hearts. Lord change our minds. Lord change our will to your will so that we can be free. Lord change are will that we can love as you do in the purest form, unselfish Love Agape Love!
