Loving The Sincere Way

MEDITATION

Loving The Sincere Way

Philippians 1:9-10 "So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. Live a lover's life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of." MSG

Point to ponder on: Loving the sincere way involves learning under the great tutor-God who is love personified.

How glorious will our fruits be in the body of Christ if we truly love the brethren. Brethren are standing against their fellow in public places in the name of self righteousness and selfishness. Doctrines have divided the body instead of building it. Individual interest is far esteemed than Christ's interest. Instead of operating in wisdom working intellectually to increase the kingdom people are busy competing for recognition and seeking vain glory to boost their ego.

1.Loving the right way does mean that your brain is not suspended from detecting the positive or negative things about others but you are able to intellectually handle such and deal with them the way Christ would.

2.Loving the right way also involves the ability to differentiate between sensual and a heartfelt affection from a pure heart that is worthy of emulation and pleasing to Christ.

We are not yet perfect in love, we are all still growing regardless of our spiritual growth,  God's desire is for us to grow daily and flourish in love. When this happens, we make Jesus proud. The more we grow in love the more of God is revealed in us because God is love.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Enjoy His love.
