TRUE LOVE FOR GOD SEEKS GOD

Posted by George Soepboer Sr

True love for God seeks God for it wants to be in contact with God,

for true love for God wants to feel the love within of God.

( Psalms 18:1-2 ).

True love for God also seeks to please God

and always surrenders their will to God.

( Deuteronomy 6:5 ).

Love without seeking the will of God is a selfish act of pride

it has noting to do with true love and with God.

We can do many acts of love but that does not mean we love,

for there is no love without obeying God.

Many acts of love are not true love

for they are not within the will of God.

( 1 John 5:3 ).

True love does not seek self-love for true love does not

expect anything in return for the acts of love,

when we seek some return from our acts of love

than we live in self-love

for then our acts of love do not come from a heart of love

( Romans 5:6-8 ).

True love never belittles the love of God by acting that

our love is greater than the love of God,

for the greatest love is always of God.

( John 3:16-18 ).

True love is not always gentle love for that is self-centered love,

for than we seek love, and then we live a selfish love

that seeks the applause of people and not the love of God.

( Revelation 3:14-22 ).

True love never allows ours feelings of love to overrule the

commands of God, if we allow our feeling of love to overpower

the rules of God than our acts of love

are the work of satan not of God,

for true love never ignores the will and way of God.

( Deuteronomy 30:15-20 ).

True love also does not only act when people deserve love

for then we do not act in love for we must always love like God,

for all people receive love from God, not only the people who

love God receive love from God, but also the people who hate God

are loved by God, we also must live in love like God.

( Matthew 5:43-48 ).

However we may not assist people who refuse to abandon

their sin against God, for if we help and support people who sin

against God then we also sin against God,

for then we become partners with them in their sin against God.

( Psalms 50:16-18 ).

True love never overlooks sin,

true love must always speak against sin,

for true love must hate all acts of sin,

therefore, true love must always speak out against sin,

for if we do not speak out against sin then we also live in sin

for then we do not obey God.

True love will not only hold oneself from sin against God

but must also speak against people who do not obey God.

( Galatians 1:6-9 ).

True love will also suffer for love,

when we are willing to suffer for love then we live in perfect love.

( 1 Peter 2:20-23 ).

True love can only be created within us through the love of God,

for many of our acts of love are self-love,

therefore we must open our heart and mind to God to be molded

into true love from God.

( Hebrews 12:3-11 ).
