In response to a question at a Forum I recently visited: What is Love?

     Truly it has been written Who Love is, and not what. 1 John 4: 8-16 Clearly tells us WHO Love is, “God is Love.” Love should have never been put in Websters Dictionary.I did not create Love neither has anyone else; Love was here before us. We Love him, because he first Loved us.No one has ever seen Love, we have only perceived her. 2 Cor. 4-18 “For we do not look at the things that are seen but those that are unseen. For the things that are seen are temporal (temporary), but the things that are Unseen Are Eternal!”

     Isn’t that a great thing knowing that no one at anytime has given you Love? How can you give that which you can not steal nor take away?Knowing that sharing is a great gift and that it is our Father that gives the increase of Love, Kindness, Caring and all those of Truth, puts many lies to rest… “I don’t Love you anymore, they have left you, but they died on you…” The world would have it that you Lost Love. But in Truth, (and not what the Truth is, but whom; Christ said, “I am the Truth!”), it is the world that makes you believe that you have lost Love.

     But “I went through a bitter divorce” someone might say. “But they died on me.” There in that Fire, lies Ones greatest opportunity. Opportunity to Love more, Understand more, Forgive more… to become like all those whom we can not see. The Ones the world and these eyes would have us believe that we can see.

    Please allow me to share a story that was given to me…

     The Fighter: There was a man standing outside a bar minding his own business, when a prideful man accompanied with his friends exited and found themselves outside also. When the man looked over at the One who was outside already, he thought within himself, how meek and what an easy push over he appears to be. Walking over with the Spirit of Pride (liar), the man desiring to exalt himself in front of his friends, began to push and beat the gentle One up. He blackened his eye, blooded his lip, and cracked his nose. The gentle man found himself upon his knees when suddenly, his wallet was lifted from his back pocket; he did not resist. But as the thief and prideful one started to walk away, he heard a voice coming from the One who appeared to be defeated, “I Love You.” At that point the prideful one turned around and laughed saying, “You are a bigger loser than I thought, what a waste!”

     He walked back to his friends and opened the wallet and said, “Drinks are on me.” Before you know it (the reward for becoming a liar, “pride”) the money was spent and the drinks were all gone. However, the gentle man, the loser on the ground, is now more than he was just a few moments ago. Because he tried to spend what can not be seen; because he tried to spend that which is eternal; because he tried to spend Love, he is more!

     Because he Loved, he became Understanding. Because he Understood, he became Forgiveness. Because he Forgave, he became Compassionate… He had clothed himself. Again, remember Isaiah 42: 5: states, “…and the Spirit to those who walk therein.”

     It is true that we all know that we came into this world naked, yet this gentle man will not be found naked when he leaves it. For he did Love, with a sincere heart, Understand that what the prideful man tried to steal from him, he only had only stolen from himself. Matthew 26: 52: “Then said Jesus unto him, “Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.” The Prideful one became the image of the liar. He became like the one who has a beginning and a not so pleasant end.

     Please brother and sisters, the only reason I have responded so adamantly, is because of Love. No one since man (male or female) has been on this earth, has ever shed a tear or felt a pain without a LIE at the root; Lie at the root of all trouble.

     But please do not think that I am being disrspectful to Trouble. Isaiah 45: 7 “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.” I do not disrespect Him, because I know Trouble has a job to do… form our Light. Even Romans 13: 1 tells us that we should, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God.” Yes, the same ones we wrestle against in Ephesians 6: 12…

Again, you must know that it is Love that moved me to respond so. No country, no flag, no race; surely nothing of this world has set anyone free; Only the Truth may do that.

Please know that I Love You All!
FATHER BLESS your little brother……. me
