Love as one of the fundamental principles of the Kingdom has been established as a ” Practical Kingdom Principle “.
Meaning that if you claim to be in the Kingdom of Christ and do not walk in love, you deceive yourself and the Truth is not in you.
To walk in Love then requires an understanding of what True Love is from the one who is Love ❤️ Himself – God.
We have established that Love ❤️ is a Character and Nature, for when you understand Love ❤️ from that vintage, it is no longer a struggle to love.
For who you are by nature, you express without struggles ✨️.
As we see from 1 Cor 13 vs. 1 – 7. Love ❤️ is described as a Tree 🌳 with Branches ✨️ and we see that # Kindness# is one of the Branches of Love or rather true love is expressed through Kindness.
So, how do I express love ❤️ through Kindness?
Remember, that often the conception of Love is ” What we do # Actions #. Therefore, if Love expression requires actions, then Kindness as a way of expressing love focuses on:
- The motive behind my love 💓 expression to you. For Kindness relates to Motives behind an action. Am I doing this with the Right Heart ❤️ with the Right mindset and for the Right purpose?
- Love expression through Kindness looks beyond fault. Not that it doesn’t recognize fault but it’s focus is on how to win back the individual through the Kindness of God.
- Remember, what King David did when he became King for Jonathan’s son – David said ” Is there no one left of the Household of Saul, that I may Show him Kindness “.
- David knew how bad Saul wanted him dead but True love expressed through Kindness understands that by Love you win wars.
- Love expressed through Kindness is altruistic in nature. There are no ill intentions in the acts of love ❤️. In order words, it is not Self-serving. People say I did that because I love ❤️ you yet it is all about them. What they will get from you and the advantage they will have over you by and through their acts of love.
Kindness is a matter of the Intent of the Heart ❤️ and when love is expressed through Kindness, it focuses on God and the best interest of the individual.
So, do you Love ❤️ in Kindness?
Do you love ❤️ with your focus being on the best interest of the recipient?
Do you love ❤️ with a pure motive?
Do you love ❤️ knowing that everyone once in a while will mess up and you still create room in your heart to forgive and do right by the person as long as it is in your power to do so?
Stay tuned for continuation!!!
Resolve to be an amazing Helper 👏 to someone else this year.
