All Consuming Love ♥

As we were worshiping in service this past Sunday, I couldn't help but notice something. Something that I've noticed many times during service.
All Consuming Love.

I find it so amazing to look around the worship center and see parents being moved by the Spirit into this love that God has given us the opportunity to experience. And when this happens it seems as if they just have to hug their kids, or their spouse.

As I thought more about the Spirit and His presence on Sunday mornings, I began to wonder, can we have this love all the time in our lives?

"Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit" - Galatians 5:25
Paul seems to think so.

What would happen if we all kept in step with the Spirit? If we allowed the Spirit to be in every part of our lives, and consume us with His love. I believe, we would get to experience a small slice of what true Godly love is. And as we experience this love, we would not be able to hold it in; we would need pour it out and express it to others (much like the parents in service).

THIS LOVE is the All Consuming Love we are called to. We ought to have this love for everyone, and when we allow the Holy Spirit to work, we are able to be vessels of this love. However, our sinful nature can get in the way.
I challenge us to make it our cry and plea to live in step with the Spirit so that we may be vessels of the Lord's Love, not led astray by those who seek war (Psalm 120:7).

"So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature" - Galatians 5:16
