The more we recieve God's heart for us and His love for us, the more we can love Him. We love Him with the love we recieve from Him. We cannot love God on our own, but God is love and so as we recieve increasingly more of who He is, we recieve increasingly more capacity to love Him and others. We love because He first loved us.
The movement toward complete love and unity in the Church will spring forth from this very revelation. God will let His people know His love for them and they will in turn love Him. Love is a powerful force! Love is a movement. It is what sets the Church apart from the rest of the world; And soon love will move mountains all over the place.
God has called us to be faithful in the small things, to let people know His love for them. This will raise up a generation of lovers, of warriors who are passionate about His Name. A war is the reality and love wins. He wins!!
It doesn't start with giving. Rather, it starts with recieving. If we do not first recieve, we have nothing to give. We must not focus on external ministries until we have recieved God's love. Jesus spent 30 years recieving before He intentionally began a ministry of giving. His short season of giving (about 3 years) was so powerful, because He had recieved so much that He had so much to give.
It is not a sin to recieve God's love.
Let the ones who have ears to hear recieve this revelation.
