MANUFACTURED LOVE
Gritting your teeth, biting your tongue, and holding your piece, are all commendable but they are only products of manufactured love. Manufactured love is based in the soul, and more specifically, the mind and will, instead of the spirit. Your emotions are fully charged and ready to fire hate, but your mind is reminding you of My word, and your will is restraining your emotions. Everything in you wants to even the score, but you restrain yourself, out of a duty to love. Nice going friend, but this is not love. It's exercising will power, which is not a bad thing, but must not be confused with love. This manufactured love is the first step in your journey toward unconditional love. However you will never move past this high quality human love without separation.
True love and true hate are absorbed into the soul. Hate is absorbed from the external, by listening and hanging with resentful people. Agape love is absorbed into your spirit, by
listening to and hanging around Me. Unconditional love, cannot be learned,
or taught, it must be absorbed, but free from the contamination of resentful
people, spewing out their judgments of others. The seed of love is planted when
you are born again, but the germination of the seed comes as you separate
yourself unto Me. Then as "I am slowly and completely and permanently formed
(molded) within you," Galatians 4:19 (AMP) I do the loving from within you. You
do not have the capacity, to even comprehend the kind of love that thinks no
evil, much less hope all things.
Just as a woman with child in her womb, is careful what she takes into her system, to assure a healthy baby, so you must protect the seed of the word, to have the Son of Love formed in your spirit. "This is a mystery, which was hidden for ages and generations from angels and men, but is now revealed to My holy people (the saints)," Colossians 1:26 (AMP) The only way you will have kingdom hope, is by separating yourself, giving Me exclusive right to your mind, will and emotions. This is the way "I am formed in you, as the hope of glory:" Colossians 1:27(KJV) The separation must take place in order for your spirit man to feed your soul man, without the seed being contaminated by manufactured love, using will power.
Whenever it is an effort to love, it's manufactured love, because ... "(My love in you) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it takes no account of the evil done to it it pays no attention to a suffered wrong." 1 Corinthians 13:5 (AMP) Fear is the simple acid test of the two loves. If you have any fear, you have manufactured love, because "Unconditional love is perfect love and "there is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." 1 John 4:18 (KJV)
If fear of any kind torments you, separate yourself unto Me and absorb and saturate yourself with My presence until no one can offend you! At that point you will discover that all fear is gone and you are continually loving without knowing it, because it's Me in you, the hope of glory, doing the loving.
