Am I loving or lusting after God?
Lust is of the eyes, seductive and deceptive in character, gratifies the flesh, but only for the moment, her cry for more remains unsatisfied. Lust is not only short lived, but lacks the ability to sustain itself, hence limited in scope and vision, lust sees through with dark eyes and it is a destroyer of that which is good. The seed of lust is sown in the ground of a futile mind; her voice is loud enough to make her victim cast of restraints. Her fruit is seen to be good enough and desirable, even though she has been found out to be a terminator of destiny, a stripper of glory and killer of good things. Genesis 3 Verses 6-8, 1 John 2 Verses 15-17
You do not have to “live for less”, when you Can “Live for Love”, and that is “True Life”
True love is from the heart, she is persistent and enduring in all situations, her investment produces supernatural and profitable returns, her seed produces an eternal harvest. True Love is not irrational, irritable nor supportive of irresponsibility. She is neither lazy nor a showcase for a lukewarm attitude to life. She is proactive, productive and maintains the right posture of serving even if unrecognized, she remains stable in unstable situations, takes charge when the heart of men is failing them for fear, she does not act in haste but always having all readiness to wait. The voice of true love is gentle, kind, long-suffering, might be unspoken but she is heard and visible through her action, she does not just have the form but possesses the power for supernatural exploits, speaking thus; ‘though He slay me, yet I will trust him’. I have set my hands on the plough there is no looking back for me. All the days of my life will I wait until my change comes. True lovers are not quitters, she gives her all; she sees the end before embarking on the journey. True love having started well ensures she stays true to the end. John 3:16, Luke 9:62, Hebrews 12:2
It is time to call a question, am I in love with Jesus or I am just lusting after Him to obtain what is in his hand?
Consider this: “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love” 1 John 4:8
