Good day Dear Readers at FGGAM!
Together there are two posts, but the message is still the same! What is love to you?
This morning, the Lord asked me this question.
Do you know Jesus in your mind? Or, do you know Jesus in your heart? How do we know that we know Jesus in our heart?
When you see -and really understand / comprehend God’s love for you, you will never be the same!
Lord, your Word, Jesus, says in Hosea 4:6 English Standard Version, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge …”
If we really knew what God knew, we wouldn’t do the things we do.
I am convinced of at least a couple of things: God is always the ONE who is right & I am always the one who is being corrected! And, God’s love is greater than anything we can comprehend! We love with our entire being, but God is LOVE and we are merely a creation out of God’s love … with a purpose to love!
To know love in your heart is Christ!
To be loved in your heart is Christ!
To love through the origination of love; as God is love is Christ. … And, there goes that Train Whistle again!
Do you know this great love yet? God loves you my friend! What have you done lately to discover how much you love God?

God is a God of Common Sense. Yes, any decent human being lives a life with no desire to do evil; like no good person sets out to decide to purposely break any one of the Common Sense God Given Commandments.
Yet, what is God really saying to us here? Do we love God? Here’s our sign!
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
John 14:21 ESV
1st step is that Jesus takes us into a personal relationship with God. Being a good person is never good enough. God sent Jesus!
Jesus simplified love for us to understand that being a good person & going thru the proper steps in this life is not love. Love is a matter of our heart! How much of your heart have you given to God?
Have you surrendered the reigns to your heart to Jesus? Meaning, able to leap small buildings in a single bound? [to paint a picture, like the superhero], the Holy Spirit convicts our heart to be better than we even want to be!
Self-Control is one of the signs we are in step with Jesus! When we just feel justified by our pride & emotions, BUT we look to God for THE answers to respond! God will give us a METHOD to pass thru troubles; God is NOT weak!
But God is LOVE! And love is Patient & Kind with strength under control!
Those who keep His Commandments? MUST 1st LEARN what those EXPECTATIONS are FROM & OF God, in whom we love first, SO THAT we are enabled to love others, as we are 1st loved by God!
Wanna increase your awareness of God’s PRESENCE in your life? Make 1 John 4:16 your personal GOAL! God will put your heart to the test, But after the storm, What a Rainbow!
“So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him (1 John 4:16 ESV.)”
Love in Christ,
