MEDITATION
Love Makes A Big Difference
Proverbs 10:12 "Hate is a cause of violent acts, but all errors are covered up by love."BBE
Point to ponder on: Love overlooks error and finds a way to make right that which was wrong, the reason Christ died for us while we were yet sinners.
God who is love demonstrated with the big picture by giving up Jesus when the entire mankind were still sinners as a sacrifice for the sin He did not commit. He did this so that all our errors would be blotted out by the sacrifice of the body and blood of Jesus. That same Jesus is love personified (the way, the truth and the life) who took our place and covered all our errors on the cross. He expects the show of love from you and I as carriers of His Spirit to allow His love in us to overlook errors of others.
Mahatma Ghandi once wrote, “Where there is love there is life." This life is the life of God and where this life exists love exists. "We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love one another. The person who does not love remains spiritually dead. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life present in him."(1Jn.3:14-15-ISV)
How do we get the love activated? "Now this hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."(Rom.5:5-ISV) If we have the Holy Spirit we are good to go but we must keep with the Holy Spirit for the love to flow out. If the Holy Spirit is not there all is just a human fickle kind of love.
Research shows that experiencing love releases feelings of euphoria, including brain chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin. Not only does the hormone make us feel good, but it lowers blood pressure, stress hormones and improves your overall mood and wellbeing. Can you see the life of God at work through love.
Listed below are some health benefits of love shown by research: (1) Fewer Doctor's visits.(2) Less Depression & Substance Abuse. (3)Lower Blood Pressure.(4)Less Anxiety.(5) Natural Pain Control. (6)Better Stress Management. (7) Fewer Colds. (8)Faster Healing, etc
If the body reacts in such a way, how about our spirit if we allow (God)love to reign within us. It will affect our entire being and influence our communities, place of work, schools, homes, relationships, marriages and churches. There will be no hatred, selfishness and faultfinding.
Let us allow God to live through us. He is love and He wants expression through us. When we give Him chance allowing the Holy Spirit to rule through our spirit, He will make a big difference in our world. Let God and let love reign.
Life is good only if you know how to live it.
Good morning. Enjoy His love.
I celebrate you.
David, Johnson
