Joyful Godly Love.

There is something so beautiful about discussions taking place here, where both parties are full of Godly love, grace, and mercy, and maybe they disagree on a topic, but their Godly love for one another, as a brother or sister, outshines their differences, by the light of Christ, that burns in them so intensely for all to see. Are we presenting a life of Godly love, by being salt and a light of Godly love, to all those around us here, and to the world we touch?
Do we speak to uplift, edify and encourage?
Do we speak to those in turmoil, and having trials, in a way to bring them comfort, with soothing words of concern and hope?
Do we speak to the brokenhearted with words from your own heart, because you've possibly been there, and your kindness lightens their burden, and possibly gives them a measure of peace?

Matthew 5:14, You are the light of the world."
Matthew 5:16, " let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

"Jesus told His followers to "let your light shine before others in Godly love," calling them to live an active faith of love, not a passive one. Put your light on its stand that shines bright in love. Your circumstances are an opportunity to shine brightly for the Lord in Godly love, and to share God's overcoming truth with those around you in His love. Your family and community can tell what you believe by how you live, and how you love," and your life will change, and you'll never be the same again.

What a glorious post to wake up to this morning. You are such a dear brother in Christ.
There is nothing more encouraging than Godly Love.
The whole history of the bible is all about God's Love, from beginning to end.
God is unselfish. He is extremely patient, full of mercy, grace, and understanding. Fill of forgiveness and generosity and even reaches out in fellowship.. why is He so mindful of us stretched human beings? I am sure the answer is "Love."

Any love we are able to give is really from God, and He passes it on through His people.
It is beautiful to see brothers and sisters passing on God's love, such a blessing.

I believe that its important to speak words of help and love for others to receive help. Paul says that we should speak words that edify and encourage spirituality. I am paraphrasing.

God loves us so much and His Word flows so smoothly. Thank You, Father.

Psalm 139:3-4: You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.

Isaiah 65:24: "It shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear.

Beautiful! When one actually takes into account that what Jesus said in Luke 17:20-21, the kingdom of God doesn't come with observation it is within you, it is who you are, for the God who lives in His kingdom simply is Love and either one is created in His image or one is not. It isn't something we are born with. That was very clear in the life of Jesus when God Himself came to that man and opened up His heavenly kingdom within that man, proven in Matt 3:16, and throughout the whole book we see the same acts from God coming to man and doing the very same thing, starting in Adam in Gen 3:22.

Jesus described this renewing of mind as born again and if one is to be of the God of Love at all, one has to have that same renewing of, and one never will understand the simplicity of Love that God is until you do see Him as He is, and when one does actually see Him as He is, ye shall be like Him. 1 John 3.

These are very good words.

I find that as the Lord has broken me - as I have increasingly died to self - I am more sensitive to the wounds of others. I can relate a little more. We each have a cross to bare, and doings so is not pleasant. But through it all there comes a type of camaraderie with others who have suffered. We begin to identify more with those who are loving, and cannot relate to those who are not anymore. We distance ourselves from the flesh, the world and the Devil, because none of it has what we are seeking. True love, that comes only from God, and those who truly belong to Him.

I am so happy to see everyone speaking such wonderful things, truly the love of God is here and clearly seen through all of you, after reading this my heart was inspired to write

A Poem: Love One Another in Christ


In the garden of hearts where the Savior walks,
Love blooms like roses where mercy talks.
The cross is the fountain, the well of grace,
Where we see His glory, face to face.


He whispers gently, “As I have loved you,
Love one another, steadfast and true.
Lay down your pride, let kindness flow,
Be light in the darkness, let My Spirit show.”


No walls can divide what His love has sealed,
No wound is too deep that cannot be healed.
For love is the river where life begins,
It covers the broken, it washes all sin.


To love in Christ is to see with His eyes,
To lift the weary and silence the lies.
It’s holding the hand of the lost and afraid,
And pointing them gently to the price He paid.


So let us be vessels, pure, open, and free,
A mirror of Christ for the world to see.
For heaven is nearer when hearts intertwine,
When we love one another with love divine.

• “To love in Christ is to see beyond flaws and embrace the heart God created.”
• “The measure of our love for Jesus is often revealed in how we love those around us.”
• “Love is not an option in Christ—it is the heartbeat of the Kingdom.”
• “When we choose love over judgment, we reflect the face of Jesus to the world.”
• “Loving one another is the loudest sermon we will ever preach.
