What is Love Part II 10~13~13



Part II
With whom do you have contact on a regular basis, the girl or young man at the grocery store? Or how about the persons at McDonald's drive thru?  Is there someone who rents a room from you?  Or here in Pennsylvania we pump our own gas, but I know there are sisters states that pump your gas for you…these people (I am referring to that group of people who sometimes struggle to find a job, any job, male or female, young or old) sometimes could use a kind word, or in the very least not an unpleasant remark.  Or how about giving them a tip!  Wow, what a novel idea! 

In a little bit I need to go into the feed store and get some goat feed for my two boys, and I frequently bump into people I know in there.  Not always but sometimes…and there is the proprietor, who we don’t really think to much about, but the owners of business’s; we don’t know their financial concerns or their heart concerns, sometimes a kind word goes a long way…

Well time has gone on this morning and I hope that you can think about not only what you say but the way that you say things; it is not difficult to say something nice.  Sometimes it is simply saying a phrase in a different tune…or tone.  

On this past Friday I had the privilege of spending a short bit of time with a young man, who is out here from California, and I asked him what the purpose of his stay here is, in Pennsylvania.  He very quickly answered me; you could tell that this was something that he had already considered for some time.  He said,”I want to learn how to become love.”  Now I must tell you, I do not have any clear idea of the age of this young man, early 20’s I would say, he is well on his way to becoming exactly what he is striving for…

SHARING, isn't this love?

If you look at First John Chapter 5: 1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. If you read this verse in parts, the writer, John wants us to understand that Jesus is all about love, and that we have to believe that Jesus Christ is born (begotten) of God, and since we Love Jesus and we also love God, and since we love God, then we are begotten of God as well.  Now how absolutely cool is this!
AND
When Jesus laid down His life for us on the cross, we now have the Holy Ghost or the Holy Spirit…Let me ask you this…Do you have the Holy Spirit living inside of you?  Have you been baptized by the Holy Ghost?  Once you have been baptized, stay open to the leading of the Spirit, and allow for refilling of the Holy Spirit…these can be, and for me are, times of revelation…and I look forward to these moments, they can be so inspiring…Well I want to spend some time reading, before I get ready for church, so I will be back tomorrow and we will continue speaking about love.
God bless you all....
