Love is always faithing

1 Cor. 13:7, “(Love) bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

“Believes all things” is the verb for faith. Love is always “faithing”. The word reveals itself to the hearer’s heart. Faith comes. Godly-life energy and revelation transform our will and motive. We love in action and truth.

Gal. 5:6, “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.”

Philemon 1:6, “That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” See His power working in us…

Greek paraphrase Phm 1:6: That the fellowship (indescribable intimate union and bond) of your (His) faith may become godly life-energy by the revelatory knowledge of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

This past year so far for 2010 has been a year of mountains and valleys. Love has been my energy and oxygen. I have been going through a custody battle, divorce, possible foreclosure, ever-increasing lawyer debt, lay-off rumor at work and attended the funeral of a close aunt to start off the year. I have discovered through perseverance, the word, fellowship and grace-enabled choices that when I choose to love when I don’t feel like loving which is “love believing (faithing) all things” that I will make it. And I have. HE is the Hope of Glory in us. His love cannot and does not bring shame or guilt. It pours godly-life energy in me to do and be in the midst of the pressures of life because I want to. Paul said, “The love of God compels him.” His love has and is pushing me out of fear of whatever the circumstances of life are into Him and His life. Otherwise, I would live in spiritual death, 1 John 3:14. He is so much bigger, 1 John 3:19-20, 4:4. Spiritual death will bring only the merry-go-round of misery and the same ol’ same ol’. My relationship and fellowship with Christ pushes me through it all. Paul said, “That I might know Him.” What else is there? What else can compare to knowing God’s only Son and the Father?

Thank you King Jesus for Your faithfulness to me, 2 Tim. 2:13; Heb. 2:17.
