ECHOES OF HIS SPIRIT

Already, we've learned not to awaken romantic love .  Hold out on the mushiness until God tells you other wise!! Romans 5:5 tells us that our hearts are filled with God's (perfect )love so if a believer is an eclair, his inner chocolate would be love or if he was a snicker bar, his peanuts would be love. You get my drift? Or you need some more chocolatey illustrations (don't mind me, Valentine's Day has readjusted my body's cravings) Now if our hearts are filled with love, it means we are capable of loving everyone! That's amazing beyond words if you ask me. More than loving everyone, we have a mandate to especially love other Christians. Despite doctrinal differences and what not, Christians are just different parts of the same body. (Romans 12:5) We all share the same DNA. Further down Romans 12, we are admonished to love genuinely - "Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them" verse 9 says. Do not live in a state of false

"Don't awaken Love until it pleases" Three times was this statement made in the book of Songs of Solomon (SOS 2:7, 3:5, 8:4) and I believe that statement needs to be echoed louder in this generation.

In other words,  Love needs time.

See you can meet someone who's "God sent" but if you fan up the embers of Love too quickly, you'll end up doubting if the person was really "God sent" or the person was &qu

HI, It is the second month of the year on earth, and most people here on earth celebrate LOVE. Hmm... Just as you celebrate the birth of Jesus on December and that of His death and resurrection in April. Well, this is February, and don’t wait till the fourteenth day before you express love which is the new and greatest commandment – love one another as I have first loved you. Yes, I loved you when still a sinner. The love I have for you can’t be removed or changed because I am love and do not change. I love you not because it's February, not because you pleased me, not because he prayed for you, not because you live under the same roof with him, not because of your father or father’s father or your lineage or tribe, but because you are you, my creation. I still love you no matter the tremendous sin you commit, because you don’t determine how I love you, I just hate the sin. Why not just love me in return with all your heart, strength and soul and see how yo
