Love (part one)

For a while now, I've been asking God more and more what love is. I think I blogged about this before, but with each new day He brings new revelation.


I started to ask the question on my DTS "What is love?" and along with that came many more questions.

Was it different back when Jesus walked the earth? Was it deeper? Was it more shallow? How did Jesus do it? What did it look like?

The bible says to be like Jesus. It says to love everyone, and yet that rule is one that we tend to let slip away. Or one that we take as a general thing like "it doesn't matter how you treat people, as long as behind everything you love them".

Do we realize that how you treat people does depict if we are loving them? Do we realize that not loving them is a REALLY big deal!

When I started to ask these questions I knew that I didn't love very many people. I loved a lot more people then, than I did 3 years ago, but still to love everyone seemed so far fetched and out of reach to me.

Agh but loving everyone is what I'm called to do!!!

I started praying about it more and I started to seek God out for His heart. I started to ask Him how He does it, and He started to show me.

These last couple months have been incredible, and hard, and interesting. They've been mind blowing and continue to be mind blowing.

I don't really know where to go from here. I don't want to write something so long that no one will read it, but now that I look at it I have a lot to say... maybe this is what my book will be about, but for now it will be a blog series.
