"For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power." (1 Corinthians 4:20)
Do you see the transformation that perfect Love's obedience brings in your life? Do you see it in the lives of those closest to you? Do you see it in the fruit borne of your engagement with anybody that God places in front of you on a given day?
It is easy to say "I love you God", easier still mouth the words "Lord, Lord" when we consider loving Him. But the acid test is power that comes from obedience. Is anything about you different? Is His life alive in you affecting change? If not, why not?
"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." (John 14:15)
Jesus' Love says "Go and Do." Love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere Faith (1 Timothy 1:5) changes lives and scatters all darkness; It mends wounds, heals sickness and disease, it demolishes every stronghold and extinguishes every flaming arrow that Satan can muster. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5, Ephesians 6:16)
"Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth. We will know by this that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart before Him in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things." (1 John 3:18-20)
It may be hard to do or hard for you to want to do, but it's also the simplest thing you will ever attempt.
Step 1 - Love God
Step 2- Let your answer to Him, regardless of the request, be "yes Lord"
Step 3 - Get out of bed every morning and just show up.
Put feet to your Faith in God's power. I guarantee you will see Him move and experience His perfect peace in the process. No matter what the situation or circumstance, He may not do what you expect in the way you expect it, but it will always be Him and it will always be good.
"Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. (1 John 3:13-14)
