Simple Love

God is love! Is it really that simple? I believe that it is!.. Everyone knows what he did for us on the cross, but is it truly "real" to us.. his love that is. As Christians we can fill our lives with good Christian things, that are not Gods love. We find ourselves picking fights with other believers, being disloyal to good friends and even our Churches, and all these things lead to is disunity. The hardest thing a person in this situation can believe is that the enemy isn't the fellow believer with different doctrine beliefs, or someone who is standing in the way of you achieving a big title, but it is truly the devil!! What does God have to say about this you ask!?! It is soo very simple that it's almost pathetic.. He says love me (God) and love others. Notice that when it comes down to it God doesn't give a list of theological things to believe in with your head, he simply says love. Now I know what I personally believe in, and I am open to what others have to say. But when the rubber meets the road and I find myself in a disagreement, I ask myself how is arguing beliefs love!? It isn't!!! Jesus didn't shove the gospel upon anyone, in fact all He did was love! Me trying to describe love in this short essay of my ideas is almost pointless because love isn't something you can learn from mere text, including the gospel, love can only be learned through a relationship with Jesus Christ. All of the pharisees knew the gospel front and back, but none had love. My encouragement would be simple, take time out of your day to devote to God, truly seek Him and I promise you that you will find Him. This is the only way to experience true love. It isn't found in money, relationships, power, pride, family, or even a title! He is the only way, and once you have that relationship with Him, the fruit of the spirit will flow from you and be very apparent to those around you, especially the greatest one, love! Then, and only then do you put things into perspective, and truly realize what is important in life...
