In this season, at all season give out the love of God as a gift. Man, that is giving out love which is the gift of God is to gain from God.<br \/>\nAre you giving out the gift of love? It is those who know to embrace the gift of God that know to give out with God&#8217;s love. Jesus is the indescribable gift of God for all man.\u00a0 He is not the gift of God to be purchased with money!<br \/>\nSearch your self in all your lobbying with a gift to gain man&#8217;s attention instead of God\u2019s attention. All the gift that matters to God is to embrace and give out the love of God.<br \/>\nOne that does not love God will not give out love which counts before God. To love God is to fear God which is the will of God for all man. With the fear of God is to be in God. <strong><em>Ecclesiastes 12:13<\/em><\/strong> admonished us stating, <strong><em>\u201cLet us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandment, for this is man\u2019s all.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nThe love of God and the fear of God is living a life consistent to obey His commandments. Is your running around for a gift to dispose of it with God&#8217;s love?<br \/>\nApostle Paul points it out that the purpose of God\u2019s command is to love God. He stated, <strong><em>\u201cNow the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk.\u201d (1Timothy 1:5-6)<\/em><\/strong> Paul was not talking about the love that flows from the tips of lips. Paul was talking about the love which counts before God. It is the love of God not the lobbying for love with the gift that counts before God.<br \/>\nRunning around for a gift to dispose of it without love is engaging religion without Christ but a mere tradition. It is important to know that the gift of God can not be purchased with money!<br \/>\nJesus gave so much for all man to understand and know it that He is the gift of God for all man.<br \/>\nJesus\u2019 self-introduction to the woman of Samaria also speaks to all man today. Jesus wants us to know Him when He said,<strong><em> \u201c\u2026If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, \u2018Give Me a drink,\u2019 you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.\u201d (John 4:10)<\/em><\/strong> Jesus is the GIFT of God for all man. It is time to come out of religion, embrace religion with Christ.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayer for today:<\/strong> <em>Ask for the grace of God to have His way in your life.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FAITH CAPSULE: It is the love of God not the lobbying for love with the gift that counts before God.
