[The Pursue of Love]
The Three Dynamics of Pursuing Love
1.) To love is Christ = LOVE 2.) To live is Christ = SERVE 3.) To serve is Christ = PURSUE (Perseverance)
According to the gospel of Philippians 3:7-9 . . . "I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace given me through the working of his power. Although I am less than the least of all God's people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things."
Timeless Reflection: 1 Corinthians 13 & 14 [The Gift of Love]
The main purpose is to communicate God's message to people, providing insight, warning, correction and encouragement. The Holy Spirit is being exercise in every principles of every believer, it touches every human heart and soul; and transform the lives individually to collectively, from the community, to the nation and the world.
It is wise to give God a chance to speak to us each day. A few minutes of quietness helps us focus on the areas where we most need, remember God cannot get His word through us when our prayers are limited or become a to do list. Never think for a moment as if God does not interested in a small details, whereas God is actually interested into our every day lives.
The promise is that the Shepherd will go ahead, to prepare the way or to clear the way for the sheep. There might comes at time God asks us to do something the reason for which we cannot understand at the time. However how it may seems on our behalf, do it out of love with full commitment, willingness, and obedience. It is by the grace of God that goes beyond ourselves. It is the pursue of love defines the infinite, majestic and sovereignty of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Believing comes with joy, not that I have already obtained all this but press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Perseverance is what press on toward the goal, and pursuing of what is ahead. The goal is to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. God will make it clear in such a time. Just keep pressing on, and only remember let us live up to what we have already attained.
Let us "Rejoice!" ... the Lord is near. Whatever we have learn and receive put them into practice. Every blessings comes from above, be glad! For it is by the grace of God given freely to all of us.
And the God of peace will be with you, . . . in all of us. Amen.
