Redemption and restoration are two of the greatest expressions of Love. Can you think of any better gifts for FATHER to give those who accept Jesus Christ into their hearts? Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 3:
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—
19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Please ponder the above passage for a minute. Doesn’t this passage express the intent of the writings FATHER provides me on a daily basis? Those who have focused their attention to the content of each day’s blog must surely sense change occurring in their life. It is out of Love we plant seed into those who are open, willing, and diligent in reading the Word FATHER provides each day and it is up to FATHER to provide the increase. I know FATHER is especially fond of those of us who give HIM the firstfruits of the day which reflects our priority toward HIM. The “fullness of GOD must also include health since our bodies are subject to HIS healing power. It is written by THE SPIRIT in Hebrews chapter 11:
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him,for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Wisdom cries out in Proverbs chapter 8:
17 I love those who love me,
And those who seek me diligently will find me.
Our greatest priority should be to walk according to FATHER’S expressed direction, whether it be by HIS written Word or by HIS spoken Word by HIS SPIRIT to us. Every Word is a gift of Love toward us and we should receive it accordingly. Once we become accustomed to hearing HIS Word on a daily basis then we should prepare ourselves to express HIS Word to others in the same manner. Our expression can be by Word of deed as the need dictates. Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Timothy chapter 2:
1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:
2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
If we don’t share in Love the Gospel of Jesus Christ then there will be those who are led astray because of their own desires and “itching” ears (an insatiable curiosity to hear new things). Isn’t this being promoted by easy access to the Internet? This is one of the reasons FATHER urges us to live in moderation including “surfing” the Internet. It is better to be quiet and wait on FATHER for an hour than to spend the same time doing Internet searches to satisfy the itchy ears.
As we share Love with those who have willing ears they will gain perspective and realize the error of their ways. Their emptiness will be filled with FATHER’S Love which will in turn produce positive changes in their life. This is one aspect of giving the gift of Love.
