The Love -way -way |
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God (1 John 4:7).
The greatest power in the world is love. The love-way is the right way. Jesus didn’t get offended at those who abused and tortured Him; rather He said, “… Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do…” (Luke 23:34). So, why should a Christian get so offended by someone who said something against them.
The Bible says, “Bless them which persecute you: bless them, and curse not” (Romans 12:14). As a Christian, you’re called to bless. James 3:11-12 asks, “Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet [water] and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so [can] no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.”
Remember, you have a wholesome tongue that speaks healing, life and righteousness; so use it only to bless. Don’t let anger dominate or rule you.
THOSE WHO ARE RULED BY ANGER CAN’T HANDLE SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY; they can’t use the Name of Jesus for the higher things of life. Ephesians 4:26 says, “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.”
You must tame and dominate anger, as well as impatience, frustration and hatred. You were born to love; refuse to allow anything agitate you to act otherwise.
Even those that set themselves up to be your enemies, according to the words of the Master, are still deserving of love (Matthew 5:44).
We’re to love others selflessly and unconditionally as Christ has loved us: “Hereby perceive we the love [of God], because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren” (1 John 3:16).
