God Loves People....... Through People

The Bible is Awesome- Worship Experiences are incredible- Prayer is Life Sustaining- Christian Writers and Speakers are Invaluable- But...........
When it comes to experiencing the Love of God-
When it comes to life changing encounters with the Holy Spirit-
To taking the Love of God from abstract theology-
Or an idea-
Or a romantic notion-
To Living , Breathing, Life Changing Experience-
I have come to believe that as much as any of the above-
God expresses His Love for people-
Through people.
Jesus was the great example.
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us"
The great question is- Am I allowing Jesus to live out His Life through me to such an extent that those God brings my way are experiencing His Love and Goodness and Power in all their dealings with me? Truth- If I am a Christian- If I have given my life to Christ- He is in me- I am a New Creation- His Love can flow out through me- I have His endless capacity for Life and Grace and Love. That is Truth.
It is time to Live in Truth.
Colossians 1:24 Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you-
And I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking
(In need of expression)
In regard to Christ's afflictions-
For the sake of His Body-
Which is the Church (His People).
Father forgive me where I live out of my own self interests-
Give me conviction and a heart of repentance minute by minute where those around me do not experience Your Love and Goodness and Grace through me.
Amen
