And God is who God is - and you can try to fake it, you can try to act like it ain't so, you can try to ignore Him, you can try to believe that you are following Him as closely as you need to, you can play every silly, meaningless game that we people come up with to try and keep God from bursting into our hearts with His love, but you will fail, God is love. Selfishness and cold hearted legalism are just eating our churches up, worse than this false Christianity is the Godless conduct of putting self on the throne! People actually have come so far down that highway that they no longer acknowledge that they have what they have because it is granted unto them a blessing by God! Consider the ability to forgive- what is more righteous than to not wish ill toward a brother or sister in Christ, in your heart, what is more righteous than that- we are instructed to become experts at that, we are given actual teaching in the New Testament about how important it is to bring right a brother (or sister) who has fallen off the path. To do this you must have a heart that considers the hearts of others more important than your own. You have to have a heart which feels the God given blessing of compassion for their pain, ignoring your own. You have to, as Paul makes clear, wish them to be and do better than you, in every way supporting them. So how 'bout it- is that what you're doing? This recently came crashing home into my life as a lesson - basically my guts got handed to me on a platter after being carved out for me by people who say they love me- wow- it was, to say the least, a moment where, I called upon Christ- and in that moment He let me know something very interesting about the nature of love- love is revealed- ah hah, did you catch that, you see we want to teach about the types of love, we want to discuss love, but you know what, love isn't something that you intellectually do- love is what you must be in order to do Godly love- and Jesus let me in on a secret about that love, it is revealed. So when it's not there, what do you think a person should do?
