IN Love

YOU ARE AWESOME! You’re created in the image of the Almighty. You have amazing potential and power. You are the object of God’s affection, “the apple of His eye.” You are loved with Divine, everlasting and intense love. You have the opportunity and the ability to love others also. You are blessed! - Blessed with every spiritual blessing in heaven and on earth. Blessed to be a blessing, and when you are a blessing it just multiplies into more and more blessing. You are gifted. Gifted by God Himself, and your gifts are made for giving. The more you give of your gifts the more of your gifts you get to give. You also get to receive from the God given gifts in others. And isn’t it great?

Of everything on earth people are the priority and nothing else should ever take the precedence. People say, “People are more important than things” and they are, but is this how we act? We’re created to live in love. If we receive God’s love we will be “in love” with Him, if we’re “in love” with Him we be “in love” with those whom He loves and He’s “in love” with everyone. He doesn’t love them merely for who they are but for Who He is. He is love and therefore He loves. Are you love? Can you love others because you have the love of the Almighty? Don’t just judge them by what they do, but look at who they actually are. They are created in Gods own image, they are His offspring. Even though they don’t always act like it. But maybe they don’t act like it because we don’t act like it! Or they may not even know it at all. And if they don’t know it at all it’s because we haven’t answered our call. For it’s our calling and commandment to receive the love of God Himself and then let it show that they may know.

And that my friend is why God made you awesome, so He could fill you with His awesome love and so you could act out His awesomeness. Because if you’re awesome then obviously you ought to act like it. And what is more awesome than His love?

YOU ARE AWESOME and you know it, so be a blessing and show it!

Ps 47:2
2 For the Lord Most High is awesome;
He is a great King over all the earth.
NKJV

Gen 1:26-28
Then God said,"Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them,"Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
NKJV

Eph 5:1-2
5 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
NKJV

Acts 17:28-29
28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.'
NKJV

1 John 3:11
11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,
NKJV

1 John 4:7-16
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
NKJV

Ps 66:5
5 Come and see the works of God;
He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.
NKJV

And again…

Eph 5:1
Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
