My Teacher has instructed me that love is the greatest thing of all.
The love of God is a power. It is a weapon against darkness, hatred, and violence.
The love of God is a force.
My life with Jesus began when God told me that He loves me. As much as my parents loved me (which was a lot!), I needed to be touched by the One who is love, whose love is without limits. That moment was transcendent and transforming.
The School of Jesus is a School of Love. All the power, and all the spiritual gifts and natural talents, are nothing if the love of God does not flourish in my heart.
God's love continues to grow in me. More of it captures me today than ever before. The love of God is a bottomless well of supernatural treasures, to be discovered his disciples.
I'm now thinking of a Promise Keepers event I attended. The main speaker was talking about "success." I have never forgotten what he said: "Success is being on your death bed surrounded by your family that loves you."
I think this way. If love is the greatest, then the end-game of not only my life, but of all reality, is love. Therefore: people get ready.
I am ready.
Love has a Name.
