Come From the Love You Were Created in

I am so Grateful our Heavenly Father brought us here together. Special thanks to Alex Gorman Kaplan for both photos today . Good evening again I am going to share from the devotional I just completed and feel driven to share .

“The more I study the amazing, selfless, others-centered relationship of love between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I’m beginning to realize that the bestway to share the Gospel is the same way God interacts with us, which is inside a relationship. Because I’m free to love people right where they are for exactly who they are, I’m able to love the person – to have a real relationship that is not based upon me getting them to jump through a hoop so I can check my box of “getting someone saved.”- Ryan Stevenson

We are in Community and Relationship with each other here expressing our true thoughts , feelings and being vulnerable, which is a Beautiful thing. There is so much going on all around us that is not in Love, in fact the very opposite but we must hold on to the Fact we were created out of Love and God is Love.

““A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.””

‭‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭34‬-‭35‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Imagine for just a moment where we would be if everyone even for 5 minutes came from a place of Love and not Hate, Vindictiveness, Passive Aggressiveness, Hostility, Evil Anger, Revenge seeking, Narcissism, Egocentric, Greed but Love just 5 minutes. Times right now are trying but we must hold on to the Love and know our Father has us.

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

He knows all and sees all . I at times feel as if I am not coming from a place of Love and failing by sinning and not coming from a place of Love . I am not God in no way shape or form and say and do things that after the fact I feel awful about but Hope and Pray that he does see when I come from the place of Love and when I fall to my knees and ask for forgiveness. Right now as in any other time it feels we really need to be in Community.

“Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭37‬-‭40‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Love you all. Have a Blessed Evening rest in the arms of the Father.
