There is a lot of negativity in the world today, people are angry. Inpatient and rude, say one wrong wrong thing and they fly off the handle. Research shows that there is new phenomenon call internet anger. They’ve found that anger is the viral emotion on social media, if you want to get people ruled up, put a angry post on social media and that post will spread like wide fire.
Sadly, many of God’s children has fallen into that anger trap, they are putting up mean posts and having full-blown argument on social media and elsewhere what happened to love?
1john4:7-8(amp)
7.beloved let us (unselfishly) love, and seek the best for one another, for love is from God, and everyone who love (others) is born of God and knows God (through personal experience).
8.the one who does not love has not become acquainted with God (does not, and never did know him) for God is love(he is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute his nature)
God is love. He originated it and can’t and can’t be anything but love, its who he is, as children of God, “partakers of God’s nature” through our new birth, we’ve inherited our heavenly fathers love nature (Roman5:5amp) says”such hope in God promise never disappoint us, because God’s love has been abundantly pour out within our hearts through the holy spirit who was given to us.
Love is a choice
The holy spirit lives in us and God’s love has being abundantly poured into our hearts, God always respond to love, and it should be said we respond in love too. Our nature is love. We don’t have to conjure it up or ask God for it. The moment we are born again, love was placed inside us, therefore will don’t have any excuse for not walking in love.
Some may say, “I’m just short tempered, I grew up in an angry family it’s who I’m, love is a choice and we will decide how we respond in any situation. You are who God says you are,God said you are patient and kind and full of his love.
Imitates God
Scripture tells us to imitate our heavenly father. Ephesians 5:1,2(amp) says” therefore become imitators of God {copy him and follow is examples] as well beloved children {imitate their fathers] and walk continually in love.
Love is empathetic, compassionate, unselfish, it values people and doesn’t criticize and little then we need to think about how what we say or do affects others.
From reading the word, it’s clear that if we want to have a prosperous life, we need to imitate God. If we are not having the kind of result that we want in life, we need to check our love walk. If we are lonely, have emotional baggage, experience many bad relationships, and nothing ever seems to work out our way, its time to check our love walk, maybe the next issue is that we want our own all the time. Instead of preferring others.
It’s not about ourselves
Love goes beyond what’s only good for our lives, it’s not just about us, it’s about others it’s about how our live effect people. Did you ever think that walking in love could open door for you to share the gospel? It can help someone miss hell and make heaven.
Here is my challenged to you don’t be a neck. Make it your mission to works in love. Not because of what it will do for you, do it because it please the heavenly father.
