"Let me give you a new command. Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples-when they see the love you have for each other." John 13:34-35(MSG). Love is something we are commanded to do. It is not based on our emotions, it's based on our obedience. Love has emotions but is not dependent on them. We choose to love, it is our decision. What the world needs now is love, but the world is looking in all the wrong places! As the "church" we need to show the world that through Yeshua, by the power of Holy Spirit, this love can be found. We need to show love! It is the right time now to choose to walk in loyalty and integrity; in humility and grace. It's the time to do the right thing in all things! Many people speak of love, but a person who is faithful to his friends is a rare thing... Let's be one of them!!! AMEN
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!
