ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH LOVE?

ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH LOVE?

After a thousand, "I love you's", followed a thousand disappointments, the words have no more meaning. The human heart becomes numb to hopeful words followed by meaningless actions, which are based on a conditional response. The heart becomes self protecting as it goes into a hard shell cocoon, to survive. 

I am the source of  unconditional love, but I need people who are comfortable with love, to put a face on it. Many are not able to receive love, because the shell prevents it. The only thing they have known is hurtful disillusion. They even refrain from using the word love, because it has become a completely nondescript word.

Everything from poor parental examples of love to phony religious people, have established a seeming lifetime of cocoon living, but I am touched with the feelings of your hidden heart. I still see that tiny sliver of hope you have struggled to keep alive. My ears have heard it's cry for something real. I have come with examples of  My unconditional love, to break you out of that cocoon. I am touching you over and over with My love, and you are starting touch back. 

You are questioning, "is this really true ?" Does somebody really love Me? Without conditions!!! yes, I do, and I am putting a face on love, and I will use them to turn your life around. As soon as you are comfortable with love, you will be able to receive enough to give away. 

The amazing thing about My love is that you will fall in love with love itself, because of the comfort that surrounds it.  I am love and those who possess My love become more and more lovable as you become comfortable with love. Love changes everything, because it never fails. For the first time you will be able to really trust, as this love continues to be poured out. You will clearly recognize the black and white difference between man's phony love and My true love. 

In the center of My love there is no fear. The problem has been, a short supply of those who are willing to stand in the gap, and give their lives for you. As My church rises from obscurity, those that have been through the fire will be sent out, their 40 years on the back side of the desert is over and I am beginning to introduce them as the manifest sons of God.  Years of time and experience with Me have conformed them to My image. As you embrace them you embrace Me and you are now able to receive unconditional  love, which you begin to give away.

As you give out, your giftings will be exercised and multiplied. You will leave all that was important to you before, just to be a channel of this love. My love is all consuming  and will carry you into eternity if you continue to abide in it, and give it away.

1 Corinthians 13:1-13 (AMP)
IF I can speak in the tongues of men and even of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such as is inspired by God''s love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. [2] And if I have prophetic powers (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have sufficient faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God''s love in me) I am nothing (a useless nobody). [3] Even if I dole out all that I have to the poor in providing food, and if I surrender my body to be burned or in order that I may glory, but have not love (God''s love in me), I gain nothing. [4] Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. [5] It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God''s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it it pays no attention to a suffered wrong. [6] It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. [7] Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything without weakening. [8] Love never fails never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end. As for prophecy (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away it will lose its value and be superseded by truth. [9] For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect). [10] But when the complete and perfect (total) comes, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish away (become antiquated, void, and superseded). [11] When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside. [12] For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection of reality as in a riddle or enigma, but then when perfection comes we shall see in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood by God. [13] And so faith, hope, love abide faith--conviction and belief respecting man''s relation to God and divine things; hope--joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love--true affection for God and man, growing out of God''s love for and in us, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

John 15:12-14 (AMP)
This is My commandment: that you love one another just as I have loved you. [13] No one has greater love no one has shown stronger affection than to lay down (give up) his own life for his friends. [14] You are My friends if you keep on doing the things which I command you to do.

Luke 10:5-6,10-12 (AMP)
Whatever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this household! Freedom from all the distresses that result from sin be with this family. [6] And if anyone worthy of peace and blessedness is there, the peace and blessedness you wish shall come upon him; but if not, it shall come back to you. [10] But whenever you go into a town and they do not receive and accept and welcome you, go out into its streets and say, [11] Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we are wiping off against you; yet know and understand this: the kingdom of God has come near you. [12] I tell you, it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that town.
