Focus On Love

Matthew 24:12 (Amplified Bible) And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity,

The Bible says that where evil abounds, grace abounds even more. As evil becomes more widespread and increases, grace increases even more. Love is the force behind grace. We are saved by grace because God so loved the world. The very character of God is love. Jesus said that by love, all men will know that you are my disciples. It doesn't matter how many Jesus bumper stickers, t-shirts, caps, fish or crosses you have, if love isn't evident it is all in vain. In the days ahead, love will be the force that will turn people's hearts towards God. Lawlessness is increasing, therefore we can expect arrogance, hatred, bitterness, selfishness, complacency, bad attitudes, haughtiness and all sorts of evil intent to become more commonplace. However, in the midst of all that darkness, the light of love can overcome. Don't become so focused on the increasing of lawlessness that you are consumed by it's deceit. Don't allow your love to grow cold. Take the high road. Overcome evil with good. Fight the good fight of faith against the hate in this world, with the power of the love of God.

Have A Blessed Day
