S.
1 Thessalonians 3:12 (NKJ) And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you,...
O.
Paul, "humility", asks God to make the Thessalonians, the "Victory over Falsity" to be extravgent and more than sufficent in their brotherly love and good will to each other, including all types of people.
A.
We, as God's people, are to be REAL! And the evidence of BEING REAL is HOW we love each other. We are to love each other, including every single type of person (color, personality, etc.) with extravagant love and good will...above and beyond measure....and IN HUMILITY!
These are supernatural qualities that a human being can't do without God. I can not love like this by myself. I have to have God, who IS Love, as the Supreme Quality in my life...and to ooze Him out of me, from the inside out. I, as a human, can not love like Him by myself.
LOVE IS THE EVIDENCE THAT I AM A CHILD OF GOD!
P.
Father, I don't know how to love. YOU know how to love! I pray that YOUR love would saturate me from the inside out so that I can see, hear, touch, smell and taste through YOUR eyes, ears, hands, nose and mouth! Use ALL my senses, Father, to ooze out Your love onto others....make ME Your EVIDENCE!
Song Lyrics by Sidewalk Prophets from the album Live Like That
Sometimes I think
What will people say of me
When I'm only just a memory
When I'm home where my soul belongs
Was I love
When no one else would show up
Was I Jesus to the least of those
Was my worship more than just a song
(Chorus) I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You
If love is who I am
Then this is where I stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back
I want to live like that
I want to live like that
Am I proof
That You are who you say You are
That grace can really change a heart
Do I live like Your love is true
People pass
And even if they don't know my name
Is there evidence that I've been changed
When they see me, do they see You
Chorus) I want to live like that
I want to live like that
I want to show the world the love You gave for me
(I want to live like that)
I'm longing for the world to know the glory of the King
