God . . . Please Fill Me With Your Love

The key to walking in love is having God's love in us.  Do you ever have one of those days when there's no love in you what so ever?  Days where you feel you'd be better off left alone? 

It is key that we keep our focus on God . . . it is key that we continue to renew our minds with His word.  For myself I've begun to ask God on a daily basis these two things:

1.  Renew my mind Father with the truth and promise of your word.
2.  Fill me with your love Father . . . I desire to see others as You do.

If you're not in the word and talking with God on a daily basis, you will begin to become very negative, to the point where you do nothing but feel sorry for yourself.  Only God's love can bring us peace, only God's love in us will help us to be effective in ministering to others.  I once heard a speaker say, "What good is a miserable Christian?"  If I'm miserable all the time, is God's love shining through me?  How will I have an effective ministry if my words and actions are not those of the Fathers?  We need to be filled by His love, so His love can radiate out from us. 

Whether here or in the mission field, we need to walk in God's love.  He has commanded us to go and He has commanded us to love.  You can't have one without the other . . .

Allow God to fill you with His love . . . allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life as you walk the walk of faith.  Ask Him, there's nothing to be ashamed of . . . ask Him to fill you up so that you can fill up the lives of others.
