Click for UCBs brand new book recommendation service 28 Jan 2014 Release Love Love never fails... 1 Corinthians 13:8 Forming a negative opinion based on appearance takes less than twenty seconds. As Thelma Wells says: Its easy to do when someone doesnt look, sound, shake hands, or think like you. However, John says, ...Anyone who does not love his brother...cannot love God... (1 John 4:20 NIV). You cannot love God if you harbour bad feelings towards others. Were more than flesh-were spiritual beings-and our God-given gifts, character, values, intellect, and passions are the foundation of who we are, not our height, weight, mannerisms, hair colour and age. When we realise God loves us even though He doesnt like some of our attitudes and actions, it becomes easier to love others. When we realise our negative feelings towards others get in the way of our love for God, it becomes easier to love. And when were in communion with our Creator, asking Him to give us His eyes and heart ...it becomes easier to love. Jesus said, ...If you only love the loveable, do you expect a pat on the back? [Even] run-of-the-mill sinners do that... (Luke 6:31 TM). It may never be easy to love certain people, but when you make the tough choice to love them anyway, the rewards are always worth it. The Bible says, Love never fails, and when you refuse to love you miss out on Gods best. One Bible teacher says: Dont miss out on any of it...God is love, and when you release love, you release God, and He becomes responsible for the outcome. Release love every moment into every situation, every prayer and every thought ...It will strengthen...and cast out fear...its the one solution that always works.
