Good Morning Tuesday...
Father thank You for this NEW day. You have blessed us with another WONDERFUL day to see Your WISDOM,TRUTH, and LOVE. May we use this day to show this dark world Your Fruit, Your Light, Your Love, and Your Glory TODAY! In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’s Name we pray. Amen. -Searching For Love? Receive Love First. God Gives Freely. (Elul Day 6) The first thing we have to understand about Love: one must receive Love to be able to give Love. In Ephesians 3:17 we see God giving us a clue through Paul's prayer as to where we can receive that Love first: “to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:19 Here we see that knowing the Love of Yeshua, Jesus Christ is beyond any knowledge we can attain anywhere in this world... it must come from Our Father Himself, through Our Savior. When His Love does come into our lives we will be filled with "all the fullness of God." Doesn't that sound amazing!? What is the fullness of God you may ask? Well, I think for this devotions purpose we would be wise to look at 1 John 4:8: "God Is Love." 1 John 4:8 If God Is Love, it would make sense that we must receive Him First if we are to give Love properly. For if we have not received Him Which Is Love, how could we possibly be loving others correctly? Even when we do love in the correct way but do not completely know God, we must understand that Love which we give ... is still from Him. Now, let's take a moment to think about this. Love from Our Father is not just something that we are to receive From Him, but also something to give in return freely... as He Has To Us. In 1 John we read: “And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.” I John 3:23 So the next questions that may be begged are: How can we be kind to those who are mean to us? How can we Love as Our Father Loves? Well, simply put, receive first and then give. But how do we receive God's Love? Take a look at Matthew 7:7-8: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8 I encourage you today if you are curious to know if you have received God's Love yet... ask. To those who know they have received, Praise God! Our Father is so Gracious and Kind, and if you ask, He will open you up to something new. Many people tell us to Love, but only God gives us the power to do so. If we do ask, Our Father tells us in James 1:5: “let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” James 1:5 As we wrap things up, let us take a moment today to inquire of God Our Father about His Love. If we do this we can and will come to a greater understanding of how to Love one another, as He Has Commanded. Remember, by following The Word, Yeshua, and His Instructions we do have the power to Love Unconditionally, just as Our God and Savior Loves us. And lastly, know this, Your Father Loves You personally, powerfully, and passionately. His Love is Unfailing. Others have promised and fail, but God Our Father and His Son Yeshua... They Never Fail. Receive His Love Today. Prayer: Dear Father God, we come to you humbly today and ask that You show us Your Love as Only You Can. During these 40 Days of Elul we seek to return closer to you and we know THE WAY IS LOVE. We know this because You Are Love. We all struggle at times loving our Brothers and Sisters. We ask you for patience and understanding in this, and that you help us to see each other, and all Your children, the way You do. We ask for this so that we may become like You and Your Son a little more everyday until Yeshua, Jesus Christ shows up and finishes Your Good Work. Your Kindness, Mercy, and Unfailing Love knows no bounds and we thank You for these many gifts. Help us to exhibit Your Character as we try to Love Others More. We ask these things in Your Mighty Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
