Building Self Esteem by Learning about God’s Love -Day 1!
Are you “In love” with Jesus? In love with your soul mate? Are you “In love” with the world?
“In love” are two powerful words –But what does love really mean? And what does it mean to be “In Love”?
Look at the “One Days” in the Bible: ONE DAY Jesus was praying in a certain place (Luke 11:16); ONE DAY Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon (Acts 3)
One day shows we need God everyday; Yet, do we truly know what love is? Do we truly grasp the depths of the meaning of two words that unify into one: To become In Love!
Do we fall in love, stumble upon love or find love?
Once we know we are in love –How do we stay “in love”?
We must first understand that God is love; and all love comes from God! And God loved us when we were [and still can be] unlovable!
Our perception of love will be our projection of love …
Several years ago, God began revealing His beautiful and powerful love to me -and for many years I wrote about this love which was published [Tate Publishing April 2012]by God’s Grace Alone:
- “The Train Whistle,Sounding the call of God’s Love, by Karen Rowe”
Today, I am beginning ground level to deepen my knowledge of love!
I need to learn God’s message to me; and I share because that is what Christ would do!
Jesus made things known to His friends! Jesus made known to us, through HIS friends, the knowledge HE had from God!
As far as it depends on me, I believe as God continues to reveal HIS knowledge to us through His Word, it is good to share this revelation knowledge with each other to help and encourage each other all along our way to remain in love, which is remaining in Jesus!
–I can confidently say that God is more than I can comprehend-and so is HIS love –as HE IS the beginning and very existence of Love!
I NEED TO [more than want to] know more about who God is; and this great love that is from Him! God’s love is powerfully transforming day by day, with a purpose to make me (and you) to be more like His Son!
Still, from the very beginning, LOVE breathed life into us, LOVE died for us; and LOVE lives in us when we first believe God is love and Jesus showed us God’s love for us when He came to be God’s Son on earth as it is in Heaven!
Love also teaches that though it cost all you have, get understanding to Love Wisdom from Heaven! Proverbs 4:5-7
“LOVE” IS done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
I believe that our perception of love begins within our confidence of in who we are (self-esteem) to God –Our confidence in love can get low -but why?
It is time to build myself up [my character] in God (WHO IS my most HOLY FAITH) … Listening to the Holy Spirit –I will say that it is time to build myself up in love. Study Jude 1:20!
Will you join me?
Let’s begin an awesome journey with Jesus in learning about the power of love though the eyes of God –God is love!
Are you willing by faith to read this Scripture Reference for Today:
1 John 4:7-21 (KJV)
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
My friend, you have a purpose in this life and that purpose is to learn love, be transformed in love for love by love and to show love once you find love. God is love!
Love in Christ,
