Bible Verse of The Day – 3-7-19

1 John 4:12 (NKJV) 12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

When people hear, see and watch us, and they see that we truly care about them or others, that love that they see will break the backbone of hardness.

This “God kind of love” takes a deliberate effort to obtain. It takes us giving way to Him daily, hourly, minute by minute. It takes surrendering our heart, mind and flesh, 24/7. In other words, we are not walking by our flesh anymore, but by His Spirit.

Romans 8:9 (NKJV) 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

The question is, can we do this?

The change comes when God is alive in us. His Holy Spirit must have a place of freedom to guide, teach and demonstrate through us. Even when we don’t understand it, we must give Him the right of way and let Him do what it takes to help us get the job done.

We may say, “how do we let the Holy Spirit do whatever needs to be done in that moment?”.

We humbly let go of what we once knew and we submit by following His promptings. Trust that as we step out, He will catch us and show us where to land our feet.

May His love be perfected in you and I as we love like no other.
