Month of August: The life of the word and prayer

"The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit" Romans 5:5

Month of July: The life of Divine Love

The love of God is different than the human love.  When it is poured out in the heart it changes everything inside.  The sign of the Holy Spirit dwelling in the heart is love.  The sign of the success of the Spirit in overtaking the heart is the overflow of love and its pouring out to others unconditionally. 

"..that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them" John 17:26

Month of July: The life of Divine Love

It is impossible to have the love of the Father without the presence of Christ.  The declaration of love is the essence of life.  Declaring the love is not like the mere knowledge of the world matters.  Declaring the Father and the Son means their declared existence in our lives.

Month of July: The life of Divine Love

Christ here opens a mysterious road that links us to Him and the Father.  Christ gives the honour to the man who loves Him and enters his house, but what is really amazing is that the father also enters his house.  This man becomes a home and a house for God.

"For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me" John 16:27

Month of July: The life of Divine Love

Christ's last prayer to the Father was to love us as the Father loved Him.  The Mystery of the Father's love of for us is that we love His Son Jesus Christ.  The Father's love gives us hope in life; we don't worry about the world' hatred for the Father's bosom is awaiting us in heaven to make up for the years that locus ate up on earth.  

"Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" John 21:17

Month of July: The life of Divine Love

Christ did not expect an answer from Simon, but He alarmed him to the lack of love from faith; this is a very important element in our relationship with the Lord.  The love God seeks of us is not emotional; but the love that drives out faith to reach the liberty of the children of God so we are guided by the Spirit of God.
