God is Love. When we choose love we are choosing God’s path. Love is God. When we choose based on love, then we choose God. When we choose based on fear, anxiety, pride, etc., then we are not choosing God. Even if our choice appeared to be correct, anything that is not done out of love is not God.
God’s way is love. His path is love. Let His love lead every thought, every choice and every emotion. There is nothing that Love cannot fix. There is nothing Love cannot handle. Choose to follow Love.
Don’t let cares, concerns and anxieties lead you off course. Love is where we started. Love is where we came from, and love is our destination. Love is our ultimate goal. Before we were created Love knew us, and Love formed us. Love can only form love. We came from Love and are destined for love.
Jesus said that the greatest and most important rule to live by in our lives is just to love. Love God, and love others. Bob Jones (an inspirational and prophetic man, who passed away on 2/14/14) learned from his near death, out of body experience, that the one question Jesus asks everyone after their death is, “Did you learn to love?”
Love is the vine. We are the branch. The branch only needs to be, or to abide. As long as the branch dwells in, and on, the vine then the nutrients and life source of love flows into that branch.
If the branch dwells on fears, worry, anxiety, unforgiveness, etc., then it hinders the life-flow of love into the branch. A branch that dwells too deeply on fears, anger, anxiety, etc., will eventually block all of its life source - Love - from flowing in. Causing the branch to dry up and wither.
Fear not. We only need to recognize the hindrance that we allowed to flow in and obstruct. Then choose love once again. Choose forgiveness, choose trust, patience, and kindness. Choose to love our enemies; to bless and not curse. Choose to cast all our cares and anxieties on God, knowing that He cares for us. These things will reopen the flow of life - Love - back into us, the branches.
