Amen sisters! :thumbsup: ..To see and read things through LOVE colored glasses! :girlheart:
I know that human love is not what ,'' godly love '' is all about Marie :thumbsup:
I believe our human abilities to comprehend what the Love of God is almost impossible to fathom..
I believe though , that the UR message is about beginning to scratch the surface of the unconditional LOVE OF GOD
We use the word love very loosely within our carnal minds by the worldly view .
But those blessed enough to be able to handle the Word of Life with the mind of Christ are given a great blessing and a strength as well as a great burden , the world does hate you and use and abuse you for it in my own experience and opinion / judgment .
To me the carnal mind is selfish and wants its desires to be met , what ever they seek it to be .
Those beggars prayers and tears to me , the Esau example , that is what makes a mockery of God . those religious leaders run with the beast or carnal mind [pride of life ] and are given the strong delusion to believe the lie and in turn have deceived their own hearts .
I noted the religious leaders where the ones with the most hated bitterness and held disdain against JESUS CHRIST , the feeling that someone or something is unworthy of one's consideration or respect; contempt.
"her upper lip curled in disdain"
synonyms: contempt, scorn, scornfulness, contemptuousness, derision, disrespect; More
verb
1.
consider to be unworthy of one's consideration.
and JESUS held them in contempt of the heavenly court systems still under the law of sin and death . with strong judgments in Matt 23 by the very path of destruction they were on .........
For me , until you LOVE THE TRUTH more than , mother of father or anything in the world , you will not be shown the love of God yet ........
we cannot serve two masters , you love one and hate the other ...
I am beginning to think hard about how love is ,'' the daily sacrifice '' and ''our daily bread'' given from heaven to sustain us , spoke about in Daniel 8 , and 11 , 12 and until it is taken away ??
Because in the end times it is proof to me when Jesus said ,The love of many will grow cold , as I see the 3 types of ground when the seed / Word of God is planted in .
I also believe that Jesus testimony in the 4 gospels plays a huge role in this end time prophecy and the whole book of Revelation is how it all plays out being , ''The day of the LORD '' & 1000 year reign .
Until the time when sin becomes utterly sinful and is exposed [pride ] because the knowledge one puffs up , but it is the love that edifies instruct or improve (someone) morally or intellectually. though the fruits of the HOLY SPIRIT working in anyone given the more .............
synonyms: educate, instruct, teach, school, tutor, coach, train, guide
This is by following Jesus instruction and obedience is better than sacrifice , so to me it will be the obedience from the teaching of the HOLY SPIRIT witness that will hold more weight and glory to God , and it will be though LOVING to the most unlovable . this grace will actually be , to me anyways what will get us all though till the end . showing truth in grace and pity instead of despising and praying for them before God on their behalf .
I say a whole lot of ,''LORD help us all '' .......... and never want to think I have overcome anything unless a worse thing comes upon my own life , it has happened and staying humble and kind . and practice it daily .
to be gracious, show favour, pity , I think of those prophets that prayed on behalf of Israel and Jesus praying on our behalf , and when Jesus prayed for Peter when he was fixing to be tested by satan and Jesus prayed his faith would not fail him , not that Peter would not go though his testing period .. humm ?
(Qal) to show favour, be gracious
(Niphal) to be pitied
(Piel) to make gracious, make favourable, be gracious
(Poel) to direct favour to, have mercy on
(Hophal) to be shown favour, be shown consideration

to be loathsome
AV — mercy 16, gracious 13, merciful 12, supplication 10, favour 7, besought 4, pity 4, fair 1, favourable 1, favoured 1, misc 9
Strong's Definition (Help) (Legend)

Love OF GOD pities those suffering and asks the FATHER to help them learn of HIM . I BELIEVE GOD will in the end .
ALL must understand...that God's LOVE IS GREATER THAN OUR ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND.Greater than Eve's..and Adam's..from
the beginning...Greater than all those deceived by the deceiver,the deluded with their delusion,the carnal in their carnalness,greater
than ignorance,lies,seduction,sin and death. :2c:
Amen Rose! I think of it as we have one rule, to love God! Because if we love Him, we will seek, follow, and draw near, through that open door He has ordained.. through our Lord Jesus, all He does and has done and through all that He is. And God does the work in us.. We could say He rubs off on us.. He is a great influence! Especially as He IS love! :gsmile:
"The daily sacrifice" and our daily bread.. (especially our loaf? of the NT) I agree sacrifices include the sacrifice of praise.. thanksgiving, etc. Praise as a whole burnt offering.. (And eschatologically - a favorite rabbit hole of mine, lol - I wonder if what will be taken away by the nations and anti sentiment, the (place of?) daily offerings of prayers in Jerusalem, esp. considering how Jesus said "see all this? Not, one, stone shall remain atop another"..?)
And amen, Paul said it perfectly.. if he (or anyone) were to know all things and have all wisdom but had not LOVE, their speaking is merely like an annoying clanging bell" which, I think some in the churches like to think of as other people's rebellious hearts.. but it's truth WITH LOVE, i think, and agree, which draws someone to truth..
Amen, if our prayers for someone is oh please help them to be better.. to overcome this and that, and be more like me (being the underlying thought) ! :mshock: What kind of prayer/love is that! I like to pray for someone to be blessed and for safety.. not that we can't get specific if and when the need arises. But definitely not from a lofty height of superiority! That cannot be a pleasing odour or sacrifice/offering to the Lord!
