OUTWORKING LOVE
THE OUTWORKING OF LOVE
As we go through our day do we show our love to others by our deeds and from the “TRUTH” of God.
1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
The deeds and actions, which we display today, can come from a root of love if we choose the Godly path.
QUESTION: Do we love in truth of God or with selfish intentions?
When God asks us to love in His truth there is an unselfish foundation from which we do so. This means that we are operating in Agape Love, which is the unconditional type of love.
Agape Love:Agape is a Greco-Christian term referring to "love: the highest form of love, charity", and "the love of God for man and of man for God".
John 3:16For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
We need to examine our hearts when we display love and focus on God’s unconditional love that needs NO return and cannot be earned by those around us. When this takes place we are reflecting God in our lives to others in the true sense. God is Love!
1 John 4:8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. LOVE NEVER FAILS!
Father God we open our hearts to love the way you love today. We acknowledge your truth of unselfish love and express who you are to the world today in Jesus name! Amen

Romans 8:38-39
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
