Let Love Live

Perfected love will over come fear every time.  Perfected means it had to go through the perfecting process.  This is going from a noun to a verb and then back to a noun.  Make sense?

We are in  a perfecting state; heading toward a perfected state.  In the love arena, it is getting from our selfish eros or phileo love to the agape; which is the perfected love.  We have heard God doesn’t have love; rather He is love.  So if we have God in us and we are operating in His will for our life; our destiny, then we should have perfected love as our guide.  I know for me, I am still in the perfecting state, but I have the perfected love in me.  It’s just letting that agape love having the final authority in my life that will take me to perfected love.  We are all by nature selfish folk, but we learn to apage others or put others first.  Reading 1 Corinthians 13, the love chapter, can really help in this area.  Let love be the final authority for your life today. Choose today to love freely without reservation with unselfish love.  No more keeping score. No more planning our revenge. Let love be the key to all your decisions.  Let love live!
