Love listens, love hears and grasps, and acts. If you have God's agape love in you, you won't just stay there sittin' on your blessed assurance.
Not passive or distracted at all - love. Not some mere energy source or feeling. Love is pure.
Love leads to good actions on behalf of the object of love. You are the object of God's love.
Over and over again. Love -- is a Person and He loves you. So SO loved. I can't overemphasize this.
My friends and I here in Plano Texas just love to talk about Christ and how his love is connected with the truth. Always.
Been thinking about how love is often about acting appropriately too, yes it's about applying God's word wisely. God is love all the time. Love is not just about talk, about yacking away, about nice words of charity or passion. Nope, it's about walking in love and showing God's love as Christ's witness. You know how anyone can talk about love, so easy to do, but Jesus acted in love every day.
All the way -- He went the distance and still loves you. He came into this world to daily show us God’s great love.. walked in love sinless even to Calvary's cross, loved us unto physical death, and even beyond all that, and beyond the empty tomb.
Real love originated with God who is love, who is light and who is true. Love is a Person today.
A real Person who is very interested in you.
Real love manifested here with God's Son, Jesus. God came here in love. He walked all the way to Calvary's cross.. in love. He did this for you, for them, and for me. In our place.
"No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.
By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
We love Him because He first loved us.
If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also." 1 John 4:7-21

Where does real love start with us? With Jesus. Q. Is there only one way for each of us to one day get into God’s holy heaven? Yes, and that way has a name -- Jesus. Some people feel ticked when they hear that.
There is only one way to get born the first time -- you know that is true. (How narrow minded of God. Not!)
There is only one way to get born the second time ..spiritually. Yup, people get triggered, upset, and offended when we say this, but it’s also true.
There is only one way into God’s heaven says the Bible. Jesus said you must be born again. He said I am the way the truth and the life. Yes, God said that Jesus His Son is the only way. The forgiven people get in, and those unforgiven bad people are out. Lots of forgiven bad people will be in. Any can come to Jesus and be forgiven. Yes, Christianity is exclusive, (turn and trust in Christ today) but it's also the most inclusive exclusivity there is. knowGod.org
