Love One Another

<< < (7/7)

I just got through reading a book called Tortured for Christ.  Its about the underground church in Romania when the Russions took over.  The love this guy describes for his fellow brothers and sisters is almost unreal.  And that love is seen by their torturers.  They were also able to sinsearly love those who were killing them and saw many converted, who would then be in the cell with them being tortured with them and thanking God.  I think love grows among people when they share hardship.  I know I would starve to death if it kept my (blood) brother from dieing of starvation.  I want that kind of love for all my brothers and sisters.  That's a fruit of the Spirit that only God can give. Its been said before, that can't be fabricated.  I think some real persecution would help.  But maybe that's just me.

Love ya all...

I love seeing Love in ACTION, not just in word or sayings or creeds. And it is the ONLY thing that God is going to count for praise towards him, everything else will burn.  Those ACTS of LOVE are HOLY; a sweet savour to God, an acceptable and pleasing sacrifice; and some of the greatest acts of LOVE have taken place under the radar, when people who are called by HIS name LOVE their enemies for REAL; and do what only Jesus would do, as Jesus does His works in them. Thanks for sharing that.  I wholeheartedly agree and I love reading those things, too.
