Give Everything in Love...
Do you give to charity?
Do you donate your clothes to the needy?
Do you serve at a church or homeless shelter?
And on the other hand,
What fruits do you give out at work?
In other words,
What fruits do you BEAR at work,
Especially when you're in "get 'er done" mode?
Are you PATIENT vs impatient?
Are you GENTLE vs aggressive?
Are you HUMBLE vs boastful?
Do you compare yourself or ENVY others' success?
Remember that...
LOVE is patient,
LOVE is kind,
LOVE does not envy,
LOVE does not boast.
These things matter to God because,
God is LOVE.
"I may give away everything that I own,
I may even hand over my body to be burned;
but if I lack LOVE, I gain nothing."
So as you are giving your money to charity,
Or donating or serving the needy,
Make sure the fruits of LOVE during the weekDAYS,
Match your charitable fruits of LOVE one the weekEND,
Because if you're not bearing the fruits of LOVE at all times,
It will profit you nothing.
God's heart is saying...
"My child,
I don't want your STUFF,
I want you to LOVE,
I don't want your MONEY,
I want you to LOVE,
I don't want your TALENTS,
I want you to LOVE,
I want you to LOVE,
With all your HEART,
With all your MIND,
With all your SOUL,
With EVERYTHING you got,
I want you to BE LOVE,
I am LOVE."
"I may give away everything that I own,
I may even hand over my body to be burned;
but if I lack LOVE, I gain nothing."
"Dear Heavenly Father,
Help me GIVE You everything in LOVE,
Help me GIVE to others in LOVE,
Help me BE love in EVERY situations,
Not just on the weekend,
Not just at church,
Not just when I'm serving,
But ALL the time.
Help me do EVERYTHING in LOVE,
So that my whole BEING delights You,
My whole BEING exudes LOVE,
My whole BEING is fragrant of You,
You are LOVE.
In Jesus name, Amen."
Cheers giving our whole HEART to God in LOVE and the rest will follow.
