GROWING IN LOVE

WITHOUT LOVE THERE PROBABLY WOULDT HAVE JOHN 3:16. AND THAT IAS WHEREBY LOVE WAS DEMOSTRATED BY GOD HIMSELF.LOVE ISNT AND SHOULDNT BE A WORD WE USE TILL HAS BECOME A CLICHE,ITZ A DEMOSTRATION (ROMANS 5:8).AND AS WE VERY MUCH KNOW THIS FIGURE OF SPEECH "PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS" GOD HAD INDEED PUT HIS LIFE WHERE HIS LOVE IS AND WE KNOW THAT GOD IS LOVE.BUT IT DOEST END WITH THAT KNOWLEDGE THAT CHRIST DIED FOR US ALTHOUGH THAT IS VERY THE BASIS OF WAD WE THINK CHRISTIANITY IS ALL ABOUT,BUT AS WE SPEND TIME IN HIS WORD AND IN COMMUNION WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO HELPS US UNDERSTAND OUR PURPOSE IN LIFE AND THE BIBLE,THE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD MATURES US IN HIS LOVE.HE TOO IS OUR COUNSELLOR TO WHOM WE SEEK IN TIMES OF OUR PROBLEMS.AS MUCH AS ITS VERY MUCH SAID ABOUT HAVING THE SAME ATTITUDE OF CHRIST (PHIL 2:5) THO THE CONTEXT IS SPEAKING ABOUT HUMILITY, SHOULDNT WE SEEK TO HAVE THE ATTITUDE OF CHRIST IN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES? JESUS HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER WITH SUCH A DEEP INTIMACY WHEREBY AND WE TOO CAN HAVE AN ATTITUDE WHEREBY THE PHRASE WE VERY MUCH KNOW "FAMILARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT" HAS BEEN IN OUR MENTALITY TOWORDS EACH OTHER HAS SEEPED IN SUBTLY INTO OUR DESIRE TO DEVELOP OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD MUST BE ERADICATED FROM US.COS THE MORE WE SPEAK TO GOD AND THE DEEPER THE INTIMACY WE GROW IN GOD THE MORE WE WANT TO GROW DEEPER IN THAT RELATIONSHIP. AND THIS LOVE WILL TOO VERY MUCH FLOW OUT TO OTHERS AND THATZ WHERE THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT COMES IN EVERY SO NATURALLY. IF WE TRY TO FORCE LOVE OUT OF OURSELVES ONTO OTHERS IT'LL EMIT AND AURA AS THAT OF A FACADE.A FACADE IS PUT ON OUTTA FEAR, FEAR OF NOT BEING ACCEPTED AND WHEN PEOPLE SENSE THAT THEY'LL PROBABLY TEND TO A FACADE THEMSELVES TO MAKE YOU THINK U ARE BEING ACCEPTED AND SOMETIMES MANUPILATE YOU.AND ONE WILL FEEL APATHETIC AND LOSE FOCUS OF THEIR FOCUS OF THEIR BELONGIONG TO CHRIST.
