The last couple of months have been good and a time for me to reflect on God's love and understanding. On especially love and what it really means. Love begins with a touch from the Lord. One day, a person begins to trust in a loving Saviour, Jesus Christ, and who they can't see. How a person will pray and ask for miracles and guidance and for grace and how somehow one see's how God through his son, and through the Holy Spirit begins to dwell in one's mind. Everything is about him and it has to do with seeking him every day, praying ceaselessly even when one is in midst of circumstances. I reflected on how one can love God, and begin to love others as well in times of need, and how to love others at all times, separating one'self from your need, and looking at the needs of another person. And what if a person has lied about me, and difficulties arise, how does one continue to love. The bible says that "Love covers a multitude of sins". How do i separate myself from the sin's of another person and continue to care for them and accept them. I think it is in knowing that i am a sinner too, and because of that I can forgive another person no matter how much i have been hurt and continue loving and loving. I believe it is again in knowing that it is God who gives all the time, He gives us everything we have and he knows our needs, and if it is love, sharing, time, and even a smile then that is what I must give to every person, any person as a samaritan.
I think that when God looks at us, He judges us by our hearts and how we feel about our neighbour - because we can't see God. So many needs we all have, things, and just wanting to be loved and needed by others and especially the family of God. Jehovah sees everything, and knows all things. We all know what it means to look for something in your desk, and you even think to yourself and name a person whom you think might have taken it, and it becomes very surprising when you find it's right there where you left it the last time you used it - and you wonder what made you imagine such a thing. It is shocking, but it is sin. Loving God and others is indeed a challenge, we all have short-comings and if we say we are not sinners, the truth is not with us.
For love, favour, grace and a good time with my friends.
