What is the motivation behind your actions? It is time that we grow up and quit doing “nothing”!
In the past, some preachers have preached faith, condemned hope, and ignored Love. They focused only on faith because it was self-serving without Love. Hope begins the journey of faith with Love as the foundation. Hope gives you the picture for faith to see but Love is the foundation of what hope should produce. You cannot have hope without knowing what the promises of GOD are.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 13:
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not Love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not Love, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not Love, it profits me nothing.
Can the need to focus on Love be made any clearer? If you have faith without Love, you are nothing! If you feed the poor without Love, you gain nothing. The source of your intent is the deciding factor.
Each of us must assess our intent in all areas of life to see if Love is the motivation behind our actions. This is exactly why FATHER directed me to focus on Love back in 2005 rather than other less important areas of life.
If you want to reach full maturity as a Son or Daughter of Our Heavenly Father, you too must have a solid foundation of Love. Jesus made that Truth abundantly clear when He spoke in John chapter 15:
5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
9 “As the Father Loved Me, I also have Loved you; abide in My love.
10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My Love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His Love.
Jesus had already revealed in John chapter 5:
19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.
30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
These writings are intended to change your mindset to line up with The Word rather than religious teachings of the past. Love is the Key to our future success as mature Sons and Daughters.
“It’s Easier to Fool People Than It Is to Convince Them That They Have Been Fooled.” Mark Twain
The hardest thing for Christians to do is to think a thought that hasn’t been thought for them. Mature Sons and Daughters will not be moved by man’s agenda and motivation for their hope arises out of Love rather than nothingness.
