Galations 5:6 says, "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."
What faith? Faith that Jesus is able to look after me and keep me. Then I can love freely. The more Love I receive from God the more comfortable I get inside this earth suit that He's given me. It's so nice to be able to wear whatever fashion you want and not be concerned about what people will think.
It's so nice to be free from people pleasing all the time. I'm free to ask the Lord when to help and how much to do and if they don't like it, oh well. He's the one I want to please.
Only as you receive his love will you ever be able to lay down selfish motives. Thank God His Love is shed abroad in our hearts! (Rom. 5:5) All we have to do it ask for more love.
The more faith I have, the more I will find outlets to give his love away. His love will compel me to make a difference. Forget sitting on the sidelines of life anymore!
The only thing that counts..... really the only thing that counts-- not the job, not the money, not the position, not the applause, not the toys--is faith expressing itself through love.
That's something to think about. I have been mulling on this for a week now. Kind words express love. Got to work on this some more.
Thank You Lord that only words of love, grace, mercy and power flow out of my mouth today. Amen!
Bless you!
Big hugs,
