Love does not seek its own, it does not believe that “finding oneself” is the highest good,’ it is not enamored with self-gain, self-justification, self-worth or self-promotion.  You see, someone who is selfless is not looking for personal benefits by loving someone.  Someone who gives selfless love is not looking for applause, affirmation, or anything in return. There are no-strings attached to selfless love. Love does not seek its own good.

When I forgive I lay the groundwork for the restoration of a relationship, just like Jesus did for us.  He forgave us so we could be reconciled to God.  He took away the barrier that separated us from God, so that nothing stood between us…  And every time you forgive another person you do the same thing. You do for them what they can’t do for themselves.   They cannot remove their offense.  But you can. When you forgive you remove it. You release the offender from his guilt, and now reconciliation can take place.

Can you imagine that if every time you made a mistake, you had a Christian get in your face and tell you how badly you blew it?  The sad reality is that there are many people who never darken a church door today because they were hurt by the very people who should have understood them and loved them.  Love acts the gentleman by being understanding of people.

The more you allow grace to do its work in you, the more the passions of the world begin to loosen their grip on you. The cravings of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the boasting of what you have and do – those things that so characterize the pursuits of the world… they are weakened and even put to death by grace.

Our sin makes us equals at the foot of the cross.  It is here where our sin is forgiven.  It’s here we see ourselves in relationship to a holy God and humility is born.  When you spend time in the shadow of the cross, you are not looking down at anyone else, but looking up to the one who gave you mercy for your sin.

No one is outside the realm of God’s grace!  If God’s message of great joy was for these shepherds, then His message is for anyone. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never darkened a church door.  It doesn’t matter if you’ve spent all your life far from God.  It doesn’t matter how worthless you feel or how sinful you’ve been. God’s message of good news is for YOU.  It’s personal!  Jesus was born for YOU.

Love does not seek to posses.  Love celebrates the one being loved. This is how God loves us.  He doesn’t force Himself on us.  He doesn’t control our every move.  He created us to be free. And now He wants us to love in the same way.  To celebrate the beauty of every person He created: to celebrate their gifts and talents, their accomplishments, their uniqueness as a person.

When I remember WHAT God saved me from, WHO He was willing to sacrifice for me, HOW much he has forgiven me, and ALL He has given me… then every time I encounter an SELFISH, PRIDEFUL, MALICE-FILLED, HATE-FILLED FOOL, that would normally be intolerable – I can see them with new eyes – the eyes of the redeemed, then I too can give them the same kindness God gave me.

What does this waiting involve? It means that I wait without demanding change.  I wait without anxiety.  I wait without anger.  Not easy to do in your own strength.   So, being patient then, is more than simply an attitude or an action.  It’s action with an attitude.

God created you to test positive for L.U.I.  Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.   It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always… Read More »
