Welcome to the WOM website blog . . .
‘LOVE” – Lately I have been thinking “Why did God create everything?” After all, He does not need anything because he is perfect. Then the Holy Spirit began to show me some things, ever so gently. A long, long time ago, way before time even existed, there was God. He has always existed. Now, the Bible says, and we know, that “God is Love”. He is the highest form of Love imaginable. I have discovered that ‘love’ is a verb. Love has a need to express itself. It must have objects of affection to splash its love and care upon. And that is exactly what God is – Love. He existed but wants to share and express His infinite Love (Himself) on objects of His affection. So, He first created everything. Notice the word ‘created’. He spoke, and it was/is. The first act and example of faith. See Hebrews. Why did he ‘create’ everything to be good and wonderful? Love. But for what purpose? Ah, read on. Last of all he ‘made/ fashioned’ man. (not created) We are all hand-made, in His Image. He made us with great care and Love, so that He could have ‘objects of His love and affection’. You see, Godly Love cannot keep to itself. It gives; it blesses; it seeks our good. Why? So that He could in return obtain Our love and have wonderful fellowship and relationship with Him in perfect harmony. It all makes sense. But, it does not stop there. You see, when we receive Jesus into our hearts and lives we are restored with God. We become ‘new creations’. (instantly) His Nature and Person then come to dwell in us, and we are continually, increasingly, being “transformed into the Image of His Son, Jesus”, as promised. So then, we will begin immediately to act more and more like Him, with His Love in our lives. The outcome? It’s clever: we begin to operate like God. ‘Love’ HAS to express itself. We start to express His Love in us to all those in our lives, and in our world. We just want to bless, help, encourage, lift up. Most of all, we just want others to also know this wonderful Friend, Jesus and be restored to God through the complete and finished Work of Jesus on the cross and His resurrection. We want to help and encourage people and show them there is Hope and true Love in the world after all. We want to to help the poor and needy. And, we want to honour and bless God and love Him back with our lives and actions, and align ourselves with His Purposes. So, why do we do what we do? Easy, we just cannot help it. Love compels us to GO and express His Love in us. Question: are we ‘believers’, content to attend church once a week, warm a pew and be entertained? Do we just want His blessings. Is life all about ‘me’? If yes to any of these then we’d better seriously examine our hearts and get back to basics. If we are not His channels of blessings, regularly expressing His Love (a verb) in us, then something is out of whack.
Will you join us? Pray for us; and partner with us, so that we together with you can express God’s amazing Love to a needy world and make a difference to many lives, Families, communities, cities, nations. “Love never fails”. God bless you.
