You Gotta Love It!

Karen and I just got back from the Aldersgate Conference on Spirit-filled living. It was great! The worship, the testimonies, the outpouring of God's love manifested itself in healings, deliverances, and mighty experiences of joy. We are looking forward to the same kind of experiences now that we are back home at South Hill.

"God is love", I John says and that love is constant: the same yesterday, today, and forever. We see love is trinitarian in its nature just like the Godhead. Love is Almighty. "It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things; Love never fails. Love abides". When all else passes away Love still stands.

Love is active. Love became flesh and dwelt among us. The words of good news tell us love can be seen and recognized in Jesus. That active Love inspires activity in us as we follow Him.

Love can be apprehended and appreciated. We can receive and appropriate the Almighty and Active Love of God. We can receive the Holy Spirit. This is how we feel love, by actively having Almighty Love live, move and be Active in our hearts by faith. Romans 5:5 tells us "the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us." You gotta love it!

"Ask and (LOVE) shall be given unto you. Seek and you shall find. Knock and (LOVE) shall be opened unto you." (Matthew 7:7)
