Unreasonable Love does not flow from your mind and feelings. It flows from your spirit where God resides.Please Read: John 13: 34;Luke 6:29 – 35 ;Matthew 24:12; Galatians 5 :16;1 Corinthians 13;Romans 5:8;1 John 4:7-8
Dear Friend,
It is quite obvious that no one can naturally love the way God wants us to –unreasonable love - as inscribed in Luke chapter 6.It takes a supernatural help from God Himself for anyone who dares to obey the commandment of Love. There are lots of people in the world who have become so desensitized by constant maltreatment in relationships ,devastations of divorce, abuse ,betrayal, unfair business deals, discriminations, hurt, , loss , in a way that has robbed them of the will or ability to love or receive love. In Matthew 24:12–13 ,Jesus warns us that lawlessness will abound to such a degree that people will not have the will to love at all. In some cases it may seem justifiable not to love, but, He warns that only those who still maintain the fervency of love in spite of what they go through, will experience His help. What does this mean ? No matter what you have been through or going through Jesus expects you to still forgive and love those who are unlovable and unthankful. How do we handle this , when we are still angered or hurting ?
For instance you have tried to forgive someone and you simply could not do it. They hurt you so bad! You cried about it and asked God to help you but those old feelings of resentment just fails to go away anytime you think about them. Friend, true forgiveness, like unreasonable love , does not have anything to do with how you feel. It is a decision of love from your spirit. Yes, old feelings may rise up within you and the devil will convince you that you did not forgive the person, just because you feel the pain of the hurt. You know that is a lie. And your feeling does not determine whether you are in the will of God. You are greater than your will, mind , emotions and the desires of your flesh. You are spirit. When your spirit is strong ,you will then be able to resist that thought and refuse to focus on those old feelings every time you face that challenge. Be determined that you release that person permanently without any conditions attached. And trust God to help you live for the rest of your life as though they never hurt you. As you do this solely to please Him ,the power of God will cleanse the effects of the pain, bitterness from within you.
If you feed on the word of God moment by moment on a daily basis , then your spirit will be strong enough to lead your mind, and your flesh to place of never giving up on love. On the other hand if you feed on your appetites and feelings then your flesh will lead you in downward spiral of constant pain and defeat.
This world is in dire need of Love, pure love. Everyone needs love and as we all allow ourselves to be healed and loved by Jesus, we will be able to share this love with everyone near us. No matter how battered and hardened you find yourself ,embrace His love by answering the call to “Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest”
