GOD’S LOVE LANGUAGE
Glory to God!
Thanks be to God for this New Month of February, in our year of Beholding The Kingdom Glory and Power.
To behold the Kingdom Glory and Power, is essentially to behold the Lord.
“So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory. Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.” Psalm 63:2-3 (Berean Study Bible)
By beholding the Lord, you are launched into realms of knowledge and understanding of God.
You grow into deeper knowledge of His Love, His Righteousness, His Grace, His Wisdom, His Dominion, His Sovereignty, His Economy, His Will, His Power and His Glory.
You grow into the understanding of these dimensions of God through the ministry of the Word.
The Holy Spirit gives you illumination, as you read, study and meditate on the Word of God. And He also trains you through the ministry of the Men He has sent to teach and shepherd you. Through the avenues the Lord has established for you to be nurtured, you are also overwhelmed by the knowledge of His Love.
It’s great to know the extent God loves you. The knowledge of God’s love casts out fear and doubt. It brings you into full assurance of joy and hope in Him.
However, in your journey of faith and service to God, you must also demonstrate love towards God.
Until you love the Lord, you cannot serve Him.
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other…” (Matthew 6:24, New American Standard Bible)
Beloved, God doesn’t only love you, He also wants you to love Him.
God is a Person. He made man to have a relationship with Him.
This relationship is intrinsically a Father-child relationship.
God designed you to have an organic relationship of love with Him. He didn’t make you to be a robot.
He made you to receive His love and to express love.
Thus, just as you are loved by God, you are also to love the Lord.
Now to love the Lord you must understand His love language.
Everyone has a “love language”; this refers to how a person prefers to receive love from a partner.
It is how one proves the love of the other.
God has shown us in the scriptures, the things we can do to prove our love towards Him.
See this:
“If ye love me, keep my commandments… He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.” John 14:15;24 (KJV).
Wow!!
Keeping the Lord’s commandment is the prove of your love to Him.
Beloved, do you love the Lord?
Keep His commandment. Thus, as you make time to fellowship with the scriptures (as you read, study, listen to and meditate His Word), you will understand His commandment and will be enabled to keep it.
Understand also that, the commandments of the Lord are not burdensome. Through Christ Jesus, the restfulness of God’s commandment is revealed.
“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome” 1 John 5:3 (NKJV).
Walk in the restfulness of the Word.
Shalom
