It Is An Action Word

Romans 5; 1-8 (KJV)

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
But God commandeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.


A little while back; a few blogs ago, I spoke of Love. We loving each other with the understanding that God loves us. It was placed on my heart that some, if not all, who read that blog post may have not gotten the full weight of what was being presented. See, we are moving about but not going anywhere. We are searching for that "feeling" but not actually finding any one thing to satisfy. There are even some who have resolved to just sit, with hands folded, and wait for it to appear. What is this 'IT' that I speak of?..... It is LOVE. But, here is the all too familiar rub about that, "You must comprehend that Love is an ACTION word. Not only is it an action word, but it come from God, and if that knowledge is not quite clear then your efforts will be not quite correct."

God's Love is causative. Yeah, kinda bold ain't it. But, if you actually sit and reflect on your very last interaction with God; his expression of his Love towards you; in a particular matter, you will see that you didn't just "sit still". No, you had to perform. And, this performance was correct. You knew it. It had purpose, and is still operating in that purpose to this day. Perfect example:
The men that gathered together to form the mentorship program that I am apart of did so after the inspiration for this program was placed upon the heart of one; Mr. Roland Wiley. He knew that the mentorship project had to be created because God placed it on his heart; as a gift which was going to presented to numerous young boys throughout Los Angeles. Now, Mr. Wiley had ample evidence of God's Love within his life. So why not MOVE on this one item? And, if it is an express directive from God; because of his Love towards children, why not MOVE? This Love of God caused Mr. Wiley to MOVE and through his obedience to God there is, now, Manformation. A mentorship program which operates in Los Angeles, CA, and has provided support and guidence to well over 100 boys and teens over the last three years. All from Love.

David wrote, in his Psalm (Psalms 116;1-2), I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

You sit, or stand, and lament about love: not receiving it, and your probable inability to give it. Yet, you do not speak to God about it. David said that he will "call" upon God as long as he lives because of his love for God. Now I will offer that David has good cause TO love God. As a matter of fact, if you desire, go and read about David, you will see why he has love for God and why he KNOWS to call upon him for the rest of his life. The point behind this, which is applicable to your life: today, is that you have that same ability because you have that same access. Go back and read the scripture from Romans again. "While we were yet sinners"! We. Yes, that includes you. God has never stopped, nor do I believe he will ever stop.

God's Love for us is infinite. I am sure of that because I have this Bible, which tells me of his Love towards man from the garden of Eden all the way through to the garden of Gethsemane. That same Love is spoken of by the Prophet Isaiah:
(Isaiah 63;7) I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
Again, a causative Love. Love that initiates action. A 'cannot sit still' type Love. God's Love towards man; his creation. We are created to love, give love, receive love, show love, defend love. All actions. Oh! and the beauty of this Love that is shown/given to us, it was God's only. He desired to share this Love with us, and because he is God: to not turn away from his decisions or desires (we could sure use a lesson in that) this Love will be offered to us, without stopping. Go with me to read what the Prophet Jeremiah spoke about this:
(Jeremiah 31;1-3) At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. Thus saith the Lord, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

I do not know about you, but that right there makes me want to go out and accomplish the will of God for my life!!!!! God said, "I have loved thee with an everlasting love"!!! A Love that goes on forever?!?! Yes, rather mindblowing.... Kinda unreachable with our minds....

Brothers and Sisters, after this day I, seriously, believe we can no longer sit around with an elementary kind of wonderment towards this 'love' word. We have to, first, reclaim that rightful knowledge that we are receipiants of God's Love; the greatest Love. Also, study this Word of God to see that we can do our best, on a daily basis, to show this love to each other. Then move into the area of placing action/movement with this love because this love brings action/movement with it when coming to us. It truly is not difficult. We MUST MOVE!!! Correct movement though, not that self-centered, "only for me", type love. No. That love isn't love. It is pure destruction. That causes separation, and that is not God; no resemblance of his Love.

Please, re read and study for yourself. Aquire this comprehension of Love so that you too can clearly, effectively, speak about it and walk it out. See, all of that is action. You would be doing something for Love; for God; for God is Love. Comprehend?

Love is an action word........
