Speak Love

The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk. They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.

1 Timothy 1:5-7

Sometimes we get lost in knowledge. We seek out stuff like information and know-how but then lose the ultimate goal, love. Why or how does t his happen? This happens because of selfishness, greed or just short-sightedness. We start focusing in on the details and not the bigger picture. We think about our roles instead of God's plan. Our words, thoughts and actions should always reflect God's love in some way; otherwise, it's all meaningless.

A lot of the stuff that's been coming out of my mouth lately has been meaningless. It had to do with me, me , me... The more I spoke the more I knew I was distancing myself from God but yet I still continued. I realize that I became this way because I failed to love my brothers unconditionally. I hold onto bitterness and a loose tongue awoke; spewing anger, hate and destruction. My wonderful brother-in-Christ was my lightning rod and absorbed the rubbish (of which I'm so thankful). Everything that came out of my mouth, even if true, was meaningless because I did not speak out of God's love. I realize, especially in this season, I need to take intentional measures to speak God's love. I need to change my attitude towards all situations and allow the Holy Spirit to flow through each and every situation. Additional prayer time, additional worship & fellowship time is necessary to get my mind re-calibrated. Jesus will rescue me once again!

Praise to You my Father! You have pulled me out of so many bad times LORD, thank You so much! In this season, my perseverance and faith is being tested. I'm definitely at a crossroads and I need to choose all things wisely. I cannot concern myself with anything other than my relationship with You, My LORD. I pray that my faith and spirit is strengthened with Your unconditional love. Thank You for being here with me today. I love You, Lord Jesus! Amen!
