The Power of God's Love

Since the beginning of time creation has been pulled toward sin and decay.  Jesus came from Heaven to interrupt this inexorable, irresistible, inevitable power that came against God's most precious and beloved heart of hearts; humankind.  The power that sent Him was love: steadfast, unalterable, powerful, love. 

“This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4, KJV).  Place your faith in the love (God IS love, remember) that had the power to overcome the power of Hell.  Whether you believe or not, God’s love will win out, has won out.  But you will save yourself and those you love much suffering (between now and the end of time) if you will flow with His love now. 

The ones who cause you pain are victims of sin.  Victims are to be pitied and released, not condemned.  “Don’t blame the victim.” 

Release them by loving them. 

Pray for them and refrain from casting blame upon them. Defend them from the judgment of others if need be.  Trust the Lord to work in their minds and hearts, to reshape memories, to help them to see clearly.  Love precedes liberation.  Love is the key that opens the jail cell door. 

Scripture:  "God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.  In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, “I love God,” yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother" (1 John 4:15-21)
