if i abide in god's love, i get all that i ask. how do i abide in his love? i obey his commandments. how do i obey his commandments? i love my neighbor as my father loves me. how do i love my neighbor as the father loves me? i sacrifice myself and put myself at the lowest place so that they can be lifted higher.
the awaken dts is starting in 1 month and all the students will be here. i could not be more excited. i want each and every one of them to understand the fathers heart and feel his love. i am committed to every single one of the students and want them to walk in the fullness of christ. my heart is continually growing for the students and wanting them to understand the love of jesus. that he is sufficient and all we need.
the revelation that i have come to in the past couple weeks is that not even our time is ours. it is all His. we live for him and we live in his love. whoa. we live in his love. WE LIVE IN LOVE. i was talking about this with one of my friends and she put it in a great analogy. if you are in water then you are completely surrounded by water and if you get out of the water and go and hug a friend then it is impossible for them not to get wet. the water will inevitably be transferred. if we live in the love that christ has given us then it will be impossible for that not to be transferred onto others. i want to walk in that kind of love. i have no excuse not to love everyone with unfailing love. we are not entitled to withhold our love or our time or our belongings from anyone, because it is not ours in the beginning. i want to walk in that kind of love. what does it mean to walk in the fullness? to never put yourself higher, to always put yourself in the lowest place. to put jesus first and go to him with everything.
the lord has so captivated my heart with his love and how beauty and truly knowing what he created me for and that i was created FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. the smallest glimpse of his face that he has revealed has captivated me so much that i want to do everything so i can to see more. i need to walk in full surrenderance. die to myself and follow after the lord and serve as he served.
SERVE.
LOVE.
SURRENDER.
these words have all become a reality to my heart. to know jesus and his love and make him known. whether that is loving a student when they get revelation or are walking through a rough time, or the hindu man who spits on me in nepal, or the atheist woman who mocks me, or the man who has never heard the name of jesus. no matter the background, the story, the hurt they have been through, or the hurt they have have put you through.
WALK IN LOVE.
...walk in the love of christ.
....it is impossible for it not to get transferred.
