True Love

   I was thinking about love.  What is love, who is love, and where did love come from.  See love isn't something that just happens.  Love had to be originated from somewhere or someone.  See I believe that love truly was given to us from God. If you look back at the creation of Adam and Eve. Turn to genesis. 

   Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. (Genesis 1:26 NKJV)

    So God created man in His  own  image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. (Genesis 1:27 NKJV)

    In this verse he is showing to me a fullness of the idea of man is going to be brought to life.  Now flip to chapter 2.

    And the Lord God formed man  of  the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. (Genesis 2:7 NKJV)

    Here is the first time you can see when God truly showed how much he loved us by not only creating us. He bent over and inspired life into us.  He gave us a soul a chance to love.  He had to make a very intimate interaction with us to do such a thing.  Who here understands the word inspire.  For you who don't know it's to breath into.  The word inspire is a message all in its own.    

   So now he had so much love and trust in us that he gave man (us) the power over all the land.  I'm sorry but I'm not just going to give over all of the things I just created, and Loved to just anyone.  I would give it over to someone that I had all kinds of love and trust in.   Now that we got the love of creation. I want to talk about his love in our every day walk.  See every action that we make as a christian or Christ follower all have to be with love in mind, or intended.  See the bible actually shows us to do it.  Turn to the book of 1John.

    Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. (1 John 4:7 NKJV)
 
    Now go to the next verse.

    He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. (1 John 4:8 NKJV)

    See these two verses really solidify my thoughts of God being the originator of Love.  If we don't know love, or have any feelings of love, we truly don't know our Lord our creator.  Now go to first Peter.

    Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8 NIV)  

   What I love, and get from what is being said here is that no matter what we have done, Gods love will trump all of it.  If you show love to others I can tell you one thing, if you do something bad to them and they know you love them. They will always forgive you.  Show Gods love in your life and you can get away with a lot of things.  It says it right there in the bible.  Trust me read your bible, it has some good stuff in it.  

   So we're talking about love.   Love what is love, who is love.  I know who love is and that person is our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.  Think about it he came to this earth for nothing but give us total love from him.  He showed it to us by all the knowledge he gave us and the miracles he did on earth.  The best one was the death and resurrection.  See at that point he once again showed the ultimate example of love and that was life.  When he rose from the grave, he concurred death.  He once again inspired (he breathed) life into the world.  He gave us the chance to have Eden again.  See Adam and Eve didn't just get thrown out of a beautiful place.  They were thrown out of the presence of God.  See Eden was the symbol of a physical relationship with our savior.  Now when you let him into your life you now have your personal Eden, a personal relationship with you all the time.  Now you truly feel love.

    We love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19 NIV).

    NOW THAT'S LOVE!!!!!!!
