Love God

17 Feb Love God

If there is one subject that touches me it is love. I have been a lover of love since I was little. I love to love, give and share. In my life, I have known 2 distinct loves, the one who destroyed me and the one who restored me.

I always felt that I did not understand the world (before my conversion), because I had
this deep discomfort of not finding my place in this world which was living at full speed, without taking the time to sincerely love each other. I distributed all the love I carried around me, and very often, this love would come back to me like a boomerang in the middle of the heart breaking it.

When I first arrived 6 years ago in my church, I was this 35 year old woman who had everything to be happy but who deep in her heart was bruised and empty.

At my 3rd service, as the worship group sang “Christ is King”, I had a revelation as a powerful evidence of Christ as my King, a sudden urge to bow down, my tears began to flow and my legs to shake. I felt in me a power that I did not yet understand, but above all I felt an unknown Love on my part. Not the one I had known for 35 years but a new love, more beautiful, purer, more wonderful, more powerful. At that moment, I knew that I was going to give my life to my new King Jesus because what I felt was perfect.

This love in me had been broken, and had been replaced by the Love of the Holy Spirit. The work of God would then begin in me to bring the restoration of this broken heart, and to allow me in turn to know the love of the Spirit in order to love as Christ loves and asks us to love.

I understand today, that without the Holy Spirit, we love with our own strength and our own power. We love carnally, and carnal love destroys Man, because he is not without expectations.

Love is spiritual, love comes to us from on high, because “he first loved us (1 John 4:19)

Do we love the right way? Do we love in the flesh or in the Spirit?

The word tells us “it is not by force; not by power, but by my Spirit ”.
This is the difference between the love of the world and the true love of our God.

Loving in the Spirit brings us closer to God, blesses us and blesses those whom our hearts love.

Today I am no longer afraid to love “for love casts out fear” (1 John 4:18) and also because I will always be comforted by the Comforter (John 16: 7). I am guided by His word in order to know how to love my neighbors, my parents, my husband, my child, my Pastor, my service and even my enemies, but above all my Wonderful King, the Lord Jesus Christ.

I give thanks to the Lord who by his Eternal and Immeasurable love has healed me, raised up, raised, saved, guided, renewed and allowed me to love again without suffering, without fear, because this love comes to me from the Divine God.

“A new heart will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the heart of stone out of your body, and I will give you a heart of flesh” Ezechiel 36:26
