Authentic Love...

Authentic Love comes from God who loved us first-Love is seen-Love is secure-Love believes God's Promises-Love is tireless-Love is fierce, pushing back wrong-Love scales a wall to protect-Love is not afraid of criticism or rejection-Love stands firm in adversity- -Love works through the night to provide-Love perseveres when exhausted-Love that's fabricated stinks-Love is hurt but never destroyed-Love waits & endures, never self serving-Love builds godly relationships-Love holds on loosely, never controlling or manipulating-Love seeks the Holy Spirit's direction-Love does not choke, push, put down or force-Love forgives & releases but never binds or compromises-Love can't endorse sin-Love moves in courage & knocks down "Goliaths" Love believes God in the middle of impossibles-Love hears, speaks, & implements the Word with the confidence & boldness of Christ-Love relies on the authentic love that flows from The One who authenticated Love- Holy Holy Holy, Lord God Almighty, Maker of Heaven & Earth-Make sure your love comes from The One Who loved you first!
