The Caution In Whom You Say You Love (Morning Glory -Relationship Tuesday )

02/02/2016

Today on Morning Glory it was Relationship Tuesday. Our message today was " Caution In Whom You Love." Our text today was 1John 2:10.

He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and none occasion of stumbling in him.

Today on Morning Glory it was Relationship Tuesday.  Once again we are dealing with the subject of love.  Our text today let's us know that if we do not love our brother we will stumble.  The operation of love or walking in love keeps us in the light of Christ. In other words we are apart of the light. God wants you and I to walk in the light.  The light represents the relationship that you and I have in Christ Jesus.

It is important that you and I  maintain the light. Jesus Christ is that light. I maintain the light or better yet I manage my walk in the light by daily devotion with light giver, Jesus  Christ. In this same scripture, it talks about keeping your word, it represents the love of God. When that is done, love is perfected it we become mature and as result you and I know we are in him. The love of Christ should always be on display in our lives, not just in word but also in deeds.

Being cautious in whom you say you love depicts authentic relationship.  If I say I love God,  the entire chapter of 1 John 2 gives me a clear description of what that looks like. You and I cannot use the words I love you without determining if the relationship we are in, can be stamped love. We say we love God, but do we measure up to the things in 1 John 2 (read the entire chapter). We say we love people, places and things, but do we really? There is a difference between love, lust and like. It is up to you and I to find out what is being applied in every area of our lives. The Holy Spirit will assist you in this. We must be very cautious when we speak the language of love.

Since it is Relationship Tuesday, everyone should know if the person they are in relationship with, once they say," they love you ", they really do. What are the signs  that let me know that I am truly loved? How do I really know this is not just acts of kindness or just being nice (both are forms of love)? How do I know it will last?

Once again we have to be cautious in whom we say we love. There must be a strong awareness and true reality, that it really is love. True love always takes consideration to the principles of love.

Let me help the ladies. However men we can use these same principles and ideas. If I am going  to be cautious to whom I say I love here are some things I must take into consideration first.

1. True love is always authentic, it isn't  a copy cat.- You will never find true love by trying to be like someone  else. You have to be you, you have your own identity.  True love is a community of various things,  but be yourself it will produce better results.

2. If I love myself,  I can truly find love- You will never be able to love anyone else until you are able to love on yourself.  Learn how to appreciate the you. Learn how to appreciate being with you,  take yourself to dinner,  movies, walks in the park, trips...etc...Love on yourself so it becomes easy to love someone else.

3. True love is not changing or better yet DEMANDING- True love always starts with the consideration of who the other partner is. I should not have to change or have demands placed  on me after the fact. In the fact finding all of the likes and dislikes should have been discovered. A real partner does not ask you to change for them, you make changes because that is your desire.

4.True love is freedom - True love will allow you to let your hair down ( or take it off). Your outward appearances may change from time to time. True love  accepts it all, bad breath, no teeth, weight increase or decrease...etc... Be free ,be who you are...

5. True love answers the questions- When I am in a relationship and I have to ask myself repeated questions about the security of the relationship, then chances are, I am not in what is called, true love. Love should be natural and loving should be natural after the relationship is established. If you have gone through all steps and processes and the time you have spent doesn't make it feel complete, then take an evaluation. Love should be easy not hard...

Stay tuned for tomorrow's blog there is more to come....
