Waterproof Principle 23 - Love Never Fails

                                             

It is that simple. Unconditional Love does not grow cold or become stagnant...but moves beyond that point...not out of duty or obligations, but because we want to...
I think of that movie with Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn, Break-up, where she begs him to get lemons for her table center-piece and at one point she says,
"I want you to want to do it..."(otherwise you shouldn't do it). And Vince Vaughn's character is so preoccupied with his games and sports, completely insensitive to the relationship, that he opens a door for it to take a turn for the worst...

If we are not moving ahead...if we are staying in the shallow waters, will we ever reach all that God has planned for our lives? What keeps us away is the cost...
"If she wants me to buy lemons now, that means I have to get up from my comfortable spot off the couch and give up my game, watching my sport, for a few lemons..."
in short...the cost is, NOT BEING ABLE TO DO THINGS MY WAY...



 Joh 14:15  "If you love me, you will obey my commandments. 



But the king answered, "No, I will pay you for it. I will not offer to the LORD my God sacrifices that have cost me nothing...."
2Sa 24:24  




For Me To live in Love I first need to understand that I am Loved...
I can't give what I don't have...
understanding Christ Love for us...THE Ultimate Price He paid
sets us free to Love...

to Love Him
and to Love those entrusted to us.

What I've learned from this is, don't quit until you have given your all and more! If you don't get it ...go back to the drawing board. Don't give up on your relationships, that is just the easy way out.

Dear God,
Thank you that Your Love Never Fails.

Please help get a better understanding 

of what You did for me

so that I can be free to Love you. 

Even if I don't see the whole

picture now, 

that I would obey you in the amount of faith you have 

given me. If faithful in the little, you will give me even more.

Thank you

in Jesus Name 

Amen
