Love Test- Real Love

One of my dear friends has saying "It's just a love test" I have always agreed and been influenced by the way she loves as women of God. I want to choose to always love you and others. I need love myself.

 What is REAL LOVE?  Love in fullness-complete 

How does it behave?
Psalm 119:41-48
Let your love, GOD, shape my life with salvation, exactly as you promised; Then I’ll be able to stand up to mockery because I trusted your Word. Don’t ever deprive me of truth, not ever— your commandments are what I depend on. Oh, I’ll guard with my life what you’ve revealed to me, guard it now, guard it ever; And I’ll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for your truth and your wisdom; Then I’ll tell the world what I find, speak out boldly in public, unembarrassed. I cherish your commandments—oh, how I love them!— relishing every fragment of your counsel.

Psalm 85:10-13
Love and Truth meet in the street, Right Living and Whole Living embrace and kiss! Truth sprouts green from the ground, Right Living pours down from the skies! Oh yes! GOD gives Goodness and Beauty; our land responds with Bounty and Blessing. Right Living strides out before him, and clears a path for his passage.

What Does it Look like? 
Colossians 3:12-14
So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.

In his love- he died- suffering for us an unimaginable death. It was sacrificial, painful, perfect love, planned out in advance. This was a response to an ultimate plan for salvation.
RESPONSE- What is our response to his love for us and yet to love others.We need love.  
Love works-Love heals- Love delivers- Love set's free- Love meets up truth and justice.
It's received by us and we should in response give it out. 

Perfect-complete-Love was the greatest story ever. Our salvation story. Let's watch for our Love test this day and prayerfully respond to love one another thru the hard times. Believing that Love will heal and do it's perfect work.
