clanging cymbals? no?
I haven't written in quite some time.
Writing now, am I just writing to have a blog to please other people?
Is my motivation love? Probably not. Am I just a resounding gong right now?
I don't want that. I hate that. Is that what I am doing? and yet...
every time I do write on this here blog, something come out that I hope encourages or challenges another.
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 is about speaking in tongues, moving in prophesy, having faith to move mountains, and giving to the poor, BUT it all meaning nothing if we don't HAVE love. Get this. The NIV translation says if we don't HAVE love, not doing it IN love. I have love. God is love. I have God. God has me. He, the spirit, is in me. IN ME.
Let me check some other translations...
The message says: but don't love...but I don't love....I'm bankrupt without love. So I take this as an action word. Love is an action?! There are times when I don't love. There are times when I do things without love. Are there? If God is love, and God is in me, how can I do things without Him? I think it is possible. But I don't want that. I hate that. Is that what I am doing? I concur that we are bankrupt without love.
The NLT says almost the same as the message. Didn't love others...didn't love others...without love I would be no good to anybody...didn't love others, I would be of no value whatsoever. Interesting.
Maybe they go together.
Maybe we need to have love. We need to have God. I need God. God is love. I need love. I want God. I love His love.
Maybe, surely, we need love to give love. Once we have love, lets use it. That is where the action part comes in. Love does a lot of things.
Take all this into consideration; think; pray; act.
Word of God speak. Would you pour down your rain, washing my eyes to see your majesty. To be still and know that you're in this place. Please let me stay and rest in your holiness. Word of God speak.
TRANSFORM.
I'm sure this blog could be longer. I come on and I wasn't gonna write at all and now look.
I want to sleep. I should sleep. This temple needs rest to continue to be healthy for the one who dwells inside.
I've had a long, wonderful day.
Thank you Wendy and Karen for saying yes to God and being bold enough to share. Bless you. Thank you God for many things at Fuel.
So much more...must stop typing...good night.
