Fruits of the Spirit Series~Love

Join me in an adventure to looking at the fruits of the spirit...

let's start at the beginning, a very good place to start... everything begins with LOVE!!

God is love as designed to be a noun and a verb ~in action~

All love is from God, no one has more love than God.  

God is the author, creator and keeper of ALL love and ALL things love.  

God’s love is unconditional ~which we as humans cannot even imagine what that means~  

Nothing is greater than His love.  

His love is unchanging, steadfast, never will grow cold, give up, nor run out. 

1 Cor. 13  God’s love is perfect, patient, kind, gentle, hopes, endures, compassionate, and perseveres. (and we can have this love also from Him)

Love is the fruit of the spirit given by God through the Holy Spirit and we are to act upon the love He gives us.  (Verb)  We are to abide in His love and love ALL people (neighbors).  The action part is us expressing the love He gives us (through our asking and receiving, trusting Him and keeping an attitude of repentance with Him)  God expressed His love through His Son and His outpouring on the cross. 

I am to ask God for unending love, accept it, use it to serve others, change the world in His name.  He will always give me more.
