Love is so far away

In a person’s eyes you see no love – just pain, sorrow, and a distant gaze. Their actions are self-centered. Eager to attack when betrayed but never willing to forgive.

I’m so in to you but love is still in need of love today.  Bitterness and vindictiveness plagues the mind.

Selfishness, pride, and ego invade Love’s place in the heart and it Edges God Out.

Love is far away.

Practice Love

In Corinthians Paul speaks of Love and how the church [we the people] should practice love. It is patient, kind, enduring and not boastful.  Contrary to the bible’s blueprint, society is selfish and self-centered – me, myself and I.  

On Main Street America, a tattered homeless person can cause heads to drop or people change their direction. Tears shed when disaster is broadcasted on the airwaves yet people find excuses why not to help.  Where is the Love?

Afraid to share love

Why are people afraid to share love? God’s word tells us to have compassion. Love your neighbor as yourself. But how can we when no one knows their neighbors?  Love is so far away. Love is in need of love today.

There is self inflecting hate among people making it almost impossible to love a neighbor let alone yourself. As Christians, when love is expressed by its true meaning it can ease the pain of whatever you are encountering. It bears, believes, hopes, and endures all things. Love never fails. It conquers all – literally. 

 Love Traits

In order to become more like Christ, we need to practice these “Love Traits.”

• Love: is kind
• Love: does not envy
• Love: is not puffed up
• Love: is not rude
• Love: does not seek its own
• Love: does not rejoice in iniquity

So this is the message: Love one another. Anyone who cannot love remains in death. Brothers and sister let us not just love with words or speech make sure you love with action and truth because love is still so far away.

Prayer

Dear God, your son Jesus Christ is the perfect love. He loved us so much he laid his life down and died for us.  Father fill this vessel with your unconditional love. Teach me your truths and lead me to perfect love in Jesus name.  Amen.
