| Let Love Grow in You |
 Pastor Wayne & Annie Howden Let Love Grow in You We have been in a battle these first two months, but the Lord is with us. It’s spring, a time for new things to come alive. This is the year of New Beginnings. I want to encourage you as this spring begins to unfold to allow God to begin a new thing in your heart. This New Beginning is going to take place in us as well as Around us. We need the LOVE of God. Sure, we may love our mothers, our fathers, our husbands, our wives, our sisters and our brothers. But we need the Love of God to keep our relationships flowing. To be honest, as time goes by we find that we don’t like everything about these family members or friends, and this can make us treat them unfair and rough. As we walk with Christ and take on His attributes, He can give us more love and grace to deal with them. We must hold fast to the Word of God for there is power in the Word that can help us God commands us to Love one another in John 13:34-35 “A new command I give to you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” People will not be able to see Christ in us if we fuss and fight all the time. We as Christians must bear the right fruit. So that God can receive the glory. The kind of love that Christ wants us to have is found in 1 Cor. 13:1-7 And now I will show you the most excellent way. If you speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophesy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. This is the way Jesus wants us to love. It’s easy to read, but we have to pray and ask God to apply it to our hearts and begin walking in it everyday. The Holy Spirit will teaches us how to love one another. We have to stop behaving like children and see ourselves for what we really are and ask Jesus to help our families, our friend, and ourselves. It really does take pray to make a relationship work. Even the rough times and the bad times, should help us to grow closer to Jesus and each other, and not farther apart. Know that the devil is our enemy and the Lord has already defeated him. If we love Jesus and want to be like Him, we should have no problem obeying His Word. He says in Deu.5:6- Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. Maybe we could lay down pride and self today and die to self, so that others can see the Love of Jesus in us. Let your Love grow for others this spring. Rev. Annie Howden |
