A Fruit called Love
August 31st 2010 18:30
Love had always been a strange emotion to me and I never really understood the full meaning of it. That is until I became a Christian and learnt about the love that God has for his people.
While I was a sinner, Christ still loved me. Enough to die on a cross for all the sins I had committed. To give me a fresh start in life. The challenge I find is to go out and do likewise, and that is where the rubber meets the road.
After the born, again experience I felt like a dirty rag squeezed out. His Holy Spirit came and filled me. This gave me a feeling of being a new person. Then I began to love again, almost as a child does.
There were no Promise Keepers then. Just church on Sundays and home group during the week. Wednesdays I think from memory. People around my neighbourhood would run out of food. I would send them some of mine. I was always careful enough to put a tract in the bottom of the flour bag or between the slices in a loaf of bread.
I know they read them because year’s later one of my neighbours came to the Lord. It did not happen over night. In fact, it did take years, literally. Why not reach out today and start loving someone in Jesus name. Then step back and see what the Holy Spirit can do.
