LOVE......whoever loves others has fulfilled the law." Romans 13:8
.
Love is HUGE!!! We are to be growing in Christs Image. Love is the commandment and is a weapon! Love is to be in motive, thought, action, words and communication. I have learned, we can create a whole realm of dysfunction and kayos in relationships without constant awareness and action in keeping the lines of communication open, loving and honorable. We have to take every thought captive and when there is blame and judgment or critical or self pity, we have to do battle for these are the opposite of love and blocks to growing in love. We can repent immediately and ask God to give us His heart for this person and His mind in this matter. We can ask God to loose off offense and fill our heart with light and love. We can pray for the other in the spirit and ask God to set them free and fill them with love. We may be led to break off pride and then release love and healing. This is love. It is not love to ponder and stay in the place of hate, bitterness, blame. It opens the door to the devil. Offense is a huge trap and snare. Worship in dance and proclamation is a good way to allow the Holy Spirit to flow through you and break offense off of you. It is so important to deal with matter right away. Checking our motives is so important. God knows everything. We don't need to be afraid to tell ourselves the truth for once we recognize it and repent and ask for the Lords to heal our heart and give us His heart and mind in the matter; He will be on it! Praise God! He is Good. He is love. Honest is the key. We have to tell ourselves and God the truth; then confess, repent and we may need to cry and get rid of an old lie or hurt. What freedom we will have. We will either grow a hard heart or allow God to grow us in His image. Please print out the list of verses below and meditate often!!! (I have listed below some verses on how we are to be loving. I have also listed two poems I wrote a while back that I hope you enjoy.) I love you, judylea
ps- please take note that discernment is greatly needed in this hour. We needs God's guidance in everything. I found out that our churches have allowd muslims to borrow the building (out of love) to only learn later that they dedicated it to alla. We can't call unrighteousness righteous and we can't be quick to jump unless it is the Holy Spirit leading.

FORGIVENESS HEALS
I use to think my forgiveness
Certain ones didn't deserve
By holding back this act of LOVE
I was the one most hurt
To contain an anger
Resentment hurt or shame
It turns a sickness inward
Killing love with blame
I felt daggers in my heart
In my head and chest
I repeated hurtful images
I wouldn't let error rest
My whole body was taking ill
and...my joy ran dry
My face grew hard and meaner still
...my spirit it did die
Once I made the choice to love
To everyone forgive
I began my healing
I began to LIVE

LOVE ....THE ANSWER by judylea
If your eyes do see
-the eyes of your soul
Then your heart is free
and you know that you know
Then Love is what you seek
Love is what you sow
Then Love is what you'll reap
when you share what you know
