Love

Today I had the privilege to go to the women's Bible study class that our church, Union Church of Guatemala, has on Thursday Morning. What a blessing to share in the Word of God with fellow believers! We are studying the Fruit of the Spirit and this week was the second part of Love. How amazing the love of God is. It is strong enough to make a boy face a dreadful giant with only a sling & a few stones, strong enough to make three young boys stand up the the most powerful king in the world and say we will not bow down to you, powerful enough for an 80 year old to not care about a den full of lions and just worship, faithful enough for one prophet to stand among many unbelievers and wait for fire from heaven. This same love is extended to you and me. Are we going to claim it for our own? Are we going to stand up among the greats who really just trusted in God's love enough to take the risk? Are we going to take God at his word that he loves us so much that even if we face death we will truly live in his righteousness? ...or are we going to push it all away so we don't have to take any of those risks. This might be the "safe" way, but until you embrace the love he so willingly gives, even to the point of his own son's life for ours, we will never be able to love the way we were meant to. Embrace his Love my friends and truly Live!
