If not love, then what?
To me the “then what” is a dark abyss… It’s a place where life is cruel…
We Judge and argue…
We become jealous and critical…
A place where bitterness can root its seed and the next thing we know…
fear or anger have set our hearts in the wrong direction…
A careful heart that says I hear you…
A thoughtful touch that quietly speaks 1000 words…
What a life changing feeling when you feel understood, loved… cared for.
When you “just love” you inspire others to “just love” too :)
So lets guard our thoughts. Bring them into the light of what is good and right and true and praiseworthy…
That’s the sweet place where the Holy Spirit thrives deep in our soul…
The place where love sets us free from the bondage of darkness and despair…
How I pray we take every thought captive remembering the weight of “then what” is not ours to carry…
“And now, dear brothers and sisters, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable… if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things…”
Philippians 4:8
Choose LOVE.
Choose LIGHT…
Choose GOODNESS over darkness.
Choose to live a life of love… EVERY DAY…
Help us, Dear Heavenly Father,
May we know when our thoughts are drifting to darkness.
May your love and wisdom fill our thoughts to overflowing.
May you help me to take every dark thought captive.
May we recognize any thought that is not pleasing to you and let it be destroyed and replaced with the beauty of light…
For that is where our freedom to grow and love and live is formed…
“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
2 Corinthians 10:5
Thank you, Heavenly Father, that you already see the good in our hearts…
You have already placed your love and goodness in our soul… You have set us free…
You have made us beautiful in your eyes… How lovely is that….
Thank you for the reminder of how important it is to keep our thoughts in the light of goodness and grace…
May we know learn to live your beauty in all situations..
I love you…
I need you…
And
I am so grateful for your word that never stops inspiring me to be all that YOU know I am.
Your love humbles me, softens me… YOUR love sets me free…
How I praise your Holy Name…
In Jesus Name,
I pray,
Amen…
Live in Love Lisa
