SO…DID YOU LEARN TO LOVE??
The past couple of months or years..not certain anymore
God has been working on my ability/capacity/interest to love…
What a paradox right??
Anointed ( All Christians are annoited upon salvation) and yet short exchanged in the LOVE department??

This past coupla months I’ve been meditating on the question:
DID YOU LEARN TO LOVE
I’ve subscribed to The Elijah List and sometime back one of the writers, had the article captioned, SO, DID YOU LEARN TO LOVE??
I actually dont why this has been a repetitive WORD
LOL, but I get that God has been lovingly directing my efforts and steering my focus and motives to be intentional in the commitment to love
Love right??
Sometime ago I was deeply disappointed/hurt by someone I obviously had trusted
AS if that wasnt enough, daily life experiences you know how there are akere, people are dynamic, there really is no way of telling what goes with peez sometimes
Needless to say, I had to remember the INTENTIONAL LOVING
That ish is haaaaaaaaaaard
But I know, I felt like God was using all these seemingly hopeless situations and “people”‘(lol..I’m sorry)
To allow me moments of introspection of myself and supposedly my walk with God, as a believer in Christ, as a sister, cousin, daughter in the kingdom, colleague, family, friend, associate, neighbour, somebody else….
This question has forced me to examine my WALK with Christ and really, I AM what I claim to be??
LOVE!!!
Love forgives!! Inspite of the cruelty experienced, betrayal, lies, offense, disappoint, but LOVE is COMMITTED to LOVE
LOVE..LOVE is not controlling..I ddnt quite get the saying, If you love something, let it go and if it returns then it’s meant to be yours…
OKay, In theory I get the logic behind it (some parts)
But I do understand that to LOVE, sometimes means letting people go, letting go of judgement, critique, EXPECTATIONS
I’ve met so many people that I’ve seen potential in them, more than they do
Other’s I’ve desired to be the vessel (God powered) to steer in the right direction, just as I had people to do the same for me
Even so, I had to LET GO of these EXPECTATIONS, no matter how good my intentions were
I had to come to realise that sometimes, LOVE really means LETTING GO and ALLOWING GOD
In truth, intercession will always topple all
Others are just meant to collect their testimonies and encounter God for themselves in that “could have avoided mud/dark”
LOVE…sees grace, trust God and LOves anyway
We are really called to be DISCERNERS, Wisdom seekers and remember that your circle of influence will only change through genuine LOVE
Love is not controlling, neither manipulative, it is not self-seeking, doesn”t hold onto grudges, but instead it rejoices in the truth, celebrates others, and doesn’t hurt…
Love is power
Scripture says, it conquerors all, because JESUS DEFEATED DEATH
God (Authority) is love
We may not all be Christians, but we are created in the image of God ANYWAY
To understand the language of LOVE
I can think of many times I hurt JESUS
But He never stopped praying for me..
Hebrews 7:24
Believing in me…WOW
Even those that hurt us, ignorant, intentionally..what does it matter…..NOW
Okay..I’m not done with my DID YOU LEARN TO LOVE
But, For now…let me allow you to digest this
Did you learn to love this year???
Love restores others
