The Purpose of Love
Love fuels our faith to overcome the world and to win the lost. However, love needs to be cultivated intentionally. So, allow the Holy Spirit to teach you how to love unconditionally. Romans 5:5 says, “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”
Where there is love, there is hope and people need to see and feel that ray of hope that we possess. When we allow the Holy Spirit to love through us, he is also teaching us the God kind of love… Agape. It is not in our ability to love but God’s ability operating in us that produces unconditional love.
So, when you fall short if being able to love someone because of their words deeds or actions. The way the look, smell or act, ask Holy Spirit to help you love them the way God loves them if only just a little and a little goes a long way when God is in it!
Remember the depth in which God loves you even when you act unbecomingly. He sent his son to die while you (me) were in the midst of sin. It is with that same compassion we are to love another and with God, all things are possible!

What does it mean to fear the Lord? Too often we confuse fear with being afraid as in harmful, terror, nightmares the wrath of God etc.
However, fear here is respect, honor, high regard or reverence to name a few.
When we respect, honor and hold the Lord in high regard reverencing who he is, wisdom will be our companion. Knowledge and understanding will open our spiritual eyes to see things that would normally be unknowable with our carnal minds.
We would see unconditional love as something attainable despite the actions of the world around us.
We’d understand better how the Holy one of Israel was able to do all he did despite the sinful nature of man including forgiveness of sins.
Love in action – Reverence the Lord! Valarie
The Thing I Fear the Most
The thing I fear the most is falling out of love with love or me allowing love to become tainted with my feelings, cares and concerns. Let me clarify, not my love because that can happen at any time. I’m talking about God’s love in me. Although my fears may be valid, they are not rooted in the spirit but the flesh.
However, perfect love cast out all fear (1 John 4:18) and the only love that is perfect is Gods. As I continue to renew my mind with the word of God, me fears will become less and less. It is said that practice makes perfect. As I practice walking in love and letting it takes root in me, my fears will subside. Perfected love will break the hold of fear leaving me fearless in love.
Love in Action – Let us love in both word and deeds! Valarie

You Are Fearfully And Wonderfully Made!
Psalm 139:13-16 (MSG)
13-16 Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
you formed me in my mother’s womb.
I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I’d even lived one day.
Don’t try to fit into someone else’s mold. There maybe someone like you but there’s only one you. Even identical twins are different, that’s why there are two of them. Hug and Love from me to you! Valarie

Be Thankful
Life is a gift that God gave us through his son Christ Jesus. God commanded his love towards us when we didn’t deserve it. He set forth blessings for us to receive and is long suffering with withholding judgment. He desires the best for us and will withhold nothing from us when we ask in faith and purpose to live according to the ways of love (Loving the Lord and our neighbor).
Be thankful! Thankful for a loving father who only desire is to have a relationship with his creation, his children, to see our faces once again at home with him in heaven.
Be thankful, for what you have! It may not seem like much compared to some and much more to others. But the priceless gift of Love and Salvation can’t be measured or weighed only experienced and shared. Valarie
Be Thankful! God Loves
