HIS LOVE IN OUR HEART
Romans 5:5 (NKJV) Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Many people say, “Oh, if I could just have God’s love in me, then I could love so and so.” Yet, this verse is very clear that God’s very love is already in our hearts. The same way a seed gets into the ground and it has to push its way through the soil and come out, is the way it is with us. We need to work on this seed of love, and let it push through our hearts and produce great fruit.
You see, love is a fruit of the Spirit, and as any fruit needs to come to maturity, so the love of God, as a seed within us, needs to grow to its fullest potential. Love always believes the best of people. Love goes out of the way to help. Love does not get angry and sin, but is willing to look out for others.
You might say, “Well, I sure do not see this love in me.” It is there! It might be under some rocks right now, or it might be choked by some thorns, but it is there, and it will come out if you let it! Do not look to what you are not doing; look to what you are doing. Look to the Greater One in you that has put His love inside of you. Watch this seed grow and help touch the lives of many.
Our confession should always be: “The love of God is in me.” We just need to help His love come out. Give it the spiritual food and water that it needs everyday, and watch a great harvest of this fruit of love come out of you!
Confession: Today, I confess that I am a lover. I am a person who walks and talks love. I believe that the love of God is in my heart, and it will grow and be a blessing to everyone I come into contact with.
