Summary:
We are called to love our enemies with God’s love. We must not judge our brother, but instead be that channel of love to him in his need. The motivation of our heart’s must be to please our heavenly Father as we become His love in this earth.
Show Notes:
We are called to love our enemies with God’s love in us.
God loves all His creation.
We are not to judge or to take sides against people.
We are not to judge right or wrong, but to reach into the Lord for His thinking.
We are to be a channel of God’s love for people when they are in need.
Quotes:
The love of God is the motivation of our hearts. We will not be against, we will be for.
...unless we love our enemy, we're still missing what God is calling us, in to accomplish, because it's only by loving them with His love, that we're going to see the outcome of what He's looking for.
God loves all of His creation. He's not against people. He's for them.
Many of the circumstances He brings us into are to drive us deeper into Him, instead of stopping what we're doing and trying to decide the difference between right and wrong.
As people start looking for the Lord that they can find the Lord in us, and we can be to them what God created us to be…
References:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect
Takeaways:
God’s love must reside within our heart’s so that we can even love our enemies. This is the perfect love that judges not, but draws in and reveals the Father’s heart to all those around us. As Christ has commanded us; “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
