Many believers have a huge void. They Don't Know What They are Here For.

You're here for LOVE.  

You are loved by Jesus who gave up everything, sold off everything, offered his Body, Blood and very life for you to know the Father in the deepest love possible in the UNIVERSE. If you want a love story this is it.   The Father came after us in Jesus Christ.  And he is still moving around the globe calling out to us in love. 

They say space is quiet.  But the stars are all speaking about his love for you every day. (Ps19)

To know Him in the deepest love possible, to be One with Jesus and the Father through the Spirit, is the OPEN DOOR of heaven.     



You and I are here for Love.   

 

To know it.  To share it.  To experience it in the depths of Christ.  To encounter love at every corner of our lives.   We are here for LOVE.  And in Christ every ounce of love we come to know and experience is carried on with us into eternity, into forever with him. 


Is this really true?   
Here are Scripture Words to point the way....
God is LOVE - 1Jo 4:8
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

For God so Loved....John 3:16
This is how we know what love is....I John 3:16



"I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion."



"I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called ‘Not my loved one.' I will say to those called ‘Not my people,' ‘You are my people'; and they will say, ‘You are my God.' ” Hos 2:23



"The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” Zep 3:17



Jesus is the beginning and end of everything in the universe.  He made it all.  And it was made in LOVE, for LOVE, to LOVE.  (Col 1:15f)
One day it will all be in Him complete in Love.  

 Paul cries out in prayer,


"so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."  Eph 3:17-19

The Father affirms his son from heaven on earth...


"While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” 



Love is the Key
The Father loves the Son.  The Son loves the World and US.   We share in the depths of love in the Trinity.  If we listen to him we are listening to LOVE.   We are part of that love through the presence, power and peace of Jesus and everything he did for us.  


This LOVE....
Is not worked for or earned.  It fills the universe through God's awesome heart for us.  In Christ it is ours to have, know, encounter, experience, fill up, dance in, rest in.
We can't get it by performing.  We can't get it by demanding.   We receive and welcome it through the Work of Jesus by FAITH.  By trusting in his NAME.
We get it by faith and surrender to Jesus.  He Loves the Father.  When we join his heart we join this love.  (John 17:23)  We are called deeper and deeper every day into his presence and into this love.   Do you hear his voice?  

Don't Get Distracted!
Take your cues from heaven not from problems, strongholds, difficulties or roadblocks.  
Take your cues from LOVE, the VOICE of God in the world.  
The Voice that calls out the deepest longings and grace in our hearts.  
LOVE overcomes every obstacle.  It always hopes and always believes.  
LOVE NEVER FAILS.  
 
But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

Make a Difference in LOVE

If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?  Mat 5:46
This love that we know in Jesus is powerful, compelling, overwhelming, beautiful, righteous, holy and pure.  It compels us to do something in his name.   It calls us into his presence with abandon.  It causes us to seek Him in prayer and the quiet every opportunity we have.  It blows the doors off of religion and law.  There is no law against love.   


Love Him in the Morning
Is Love really the highest Goal?  What about Justice?
Some people steeped in religion say "God is not all about love.  He is about justice and righteousness and about judgement."   They focus on sin as if they can destroy it or have any significant effect on it with their words, condemnations and force.  
Well, I have good news for these folks.  Jesus Christ, the righteous, died for us.  In doing so he satisfied the justice of God, nailed sin and the law to the cross and created a whole new person in the world.   A resurrected new creature was born in forever grace and love who overcomes the world in the power of this love.   Jesus satisfied the justice of the Father and paid the price for sin.   
He did say, "IT is FINISHED" as I recall.   


Jesus also said, "God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world."  (John 3:17)    So why are we condemning it all the time? 
It takes LOVE to save the world.  Love is Action.  Love is easy to identify. 
Love him in the Evening

We live in the times of God's great grace.  
Will there be a time of judgement?  Absolutely.  Jesus is coming again.  When he does there will be a reckoning.   People will die in their sins because they did not believe and put their faith in the Son of the Living God.    So put some energy toward showing how much he loves them today.  
Change the course of someones eternity by show them the love of God.
Get to it.  Show and share this love while we have time.

We live in the seasons of GRACE. 
Jesus made a way to the Father's heart.  
By faith we receive it.  Transforming love in amazing doses.  
Intoxicating LOVE.   
Overwhelming LOVE that cannot be quenched.  






What are you waiting for?  
Cry out.  Surrender.  Receive his LOVE.  
Do you want more?   Pursue LOVE in Christ. 
Do you want more?  Give away all that you have.
The amazing thing is the LOVE of God is inexhaustible.  
You cannot out give God in LOVE.
Be an open river of his power, righteous, glorious love.
Pour it out freely on the world -  TODAY.
