Today at school we were talking about evangelism, and how that when we go out to the streets to Evangelize that we should be leaking Christ where ever we go. The reason being that when we have Jesus we have streams of living water and we need to release those streams to those people of the world.

This is the way that I feel about love. When we come to Christ there is an abundance of love that we inherit through abiding in him. There is so much available, that if we ever experianced it all, we would die. We physically wouldn’t be able to handle it. Take a minute and let that reality soak into the pours of your spirit man.

In Ephesians 3 Paul says “Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in Him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and make you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experiance the love of Christ, though it’s to great to fully understand. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”

So we should ask for god to show us the length, the width, the depth, and the heighth of love, even though we will never totally be able to understand it. That is so crazy, this love isn’t some nice little passive thing. This love is passionate, and He longs to see his love poured out to the world. The scripture clearly states that when we have this love in our lives, even a small reality of it this is the place that life and power flows out of. We as the church in America need to be possesed. Possesed by the love of God, and that love would be the driving factor of our lives. His love would be the only motivation that we need to take Jesus to the world. The simple fact that Jesus cares about the unsaved just as much as he cares about us should drive us to contend for souls and to love the unlovable.

I have a dream in my heart that one day the church will embrace selfless love. That we would love people unconditionally, and whether they loved us back wouldn’t matter. We are called to be like Jesus, and Jesus loved and loves those who don’t love him. So wouldn’t we be called to love like that? Love is all the world needs, The Beatles were really on to something when they wrote “All You Need Is Love”. Because that is all the world needs, but they don’t need the false love that is being offered. They need the all fulfilling love that only comes from the uncreated one, the one who was before time even thought about beginning. That is what we as a people saved and unsaved alike need in this hour.
