“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
What is the purpose? What is the plan? How can you live and how can you stand? Love is always the answer. Love NEVER fails.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.
Man committed treason and treachery against Me and was justly condemned; nothing could fix it except one thing: God so LOVED the world that He gave His only Son.
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Ephesians 4:4-9.
Love always finds a way to fix the wrong to bring about right, to dispel the darkness and bring the light, to heal the wounds that sin has done and make your life into a beautiful symphony of song—the Song of Songs. The song of the bridegroom and the bride where love is stronger than death and brings new life.
You have come out of death to life as a new creation in Christ.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” John 5:24.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:17-19.
And that only happened one way: by the love that will bring the perfect day. The path of righteousness I open to you is like the dawn, it gets brighter and brighter as you walk along with Me to your beautiful destiny. I show you the way to come out of night into the perfect day. In Jesus I have rescued you in love. Love finds a way where there seems to be no way. Love makes the way when there is no way.
You are never stuck in the pit or the ash heap, love can turn things around and seat you with princes.
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with princes, with the princes of His people. Psalm 113:7-8.
Even with the Prince of Peace at My right hand.
Jesus tells you to be perfect, as I, your Father in Heaven, am perfect.
As for God, His way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; He shields all who take refuge in him. Psalm 18:30.
What is your answer to have a perfect life? Choose love. Love Me and love your neighbor. These are the two most important commands because every other command and promise stems from these two desires of My heart. Love is always the answer. If you all would love your neighbor there would be no more harm in the entire world. It would all be My holy mountain and all defeat or pain would cease for love would drive it all out. To have days of heaven on earth love is the answer. In Heaven there is nothing but love. Nothing else can enter.
Love is your answer but what and who is love? I am love and I am God, so God is love. Look at Me in Jesus and see love in action among you. Jesus is exactly My image and the radiance of My glory. What did He do? He laid down His life for you. He saw you as more important than Himself.
HE CAME TO SERVE YOU, NOT TO BE SERVED, AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE FOR YOU.
He healed, He forgave, He blessed, He prayed, He provided, He guided, He is your good Shepherd, your friend, and He never returned evil for evil. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed of the devil. There was no limit to His love, patience, perseverance, and righteousness.
Jesus took all your sins upon Himself and paid your judgment, satisfied your sentence, and I raised you up with Him and sat you with and in Him at My right hand but He never sinned. He gave Satan no part in Him. He spoke only words of life and did only works of life.
Jesus is kind and considerate but He never condoned evil. He came stout against it and overcame it with goodness and love. He knows how to connect and correct, guide and direct, taking you higher, refining you like gold in the fire.
Jesus came to cast fire on the earth and put up a firewall of protection around you. Now you go and cast out demons in His Name. You go and lay your hands on the sick in His Name and let His power flow through you from Me and back. I am your source of everything good.
Love always gives you another chance.
I love you. Love always brings new life. Sin brings death and strife. You choose what you want in your life and you choose it by your words.
We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. James 3:2.
