Hosanna! Hosanna!      

I Love God!          

         

I was attending an awards dinner with a close friend of mine and someone at the table stated how much they loved some food item on the table. My friend immediately said how she didn't use the word "love" so loosely. She went on to state how people quickly say how much they love something or someone and yet they don't treat them as though thheartey truly love them. But, the thing that perplexed me and at the same time vexed my spirit was that she also emphatically stated that is the reason she cannot just say, "I love God." Now that is a WOW statement!

 

That statement has remained with me. Needless to say I began to pray for her to be able to say those words with conviction and in truth. In the midst of my ponderings and praying, God began to speak to me and to show me that although she felt she didn't love Him, she actually had more love and reverence for Him than many people who exclaim they love Him but their actions screams otherwise.

 

L-O-V-E is such a huge transforming enduring word. Most of us don't understand and can't comprehend the massiveness and expansiveness of this word. If we did, as my friend so emphatically implied, we would not throw it around as though it is some cheap suit.

 

God's Word states that when everything fades from our memory and our existence only love will stand. Isn't it ironic that this is the only thing that will matter when it is all over, yet we do not embrace love as we ought to do. It is for that reason many people cry out as they did when Jesus rode that donkey into the city, And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Mark 11:9 (KJV) It is amazing at the number of people who profess to love God with all their hearts, minds and souls and yet they don't walk in the fullness of God as love.

 

The accoutrements of this world deceives daily that we are not to love each other. Its deceptive tactics has caused us to view each other with skewed vision while questioning the veracity of the other person's actions. It is for this reason we find it hard to unite and stand on God's love in the face of adversity and especially to exhibit that love when others use and misuse us.

 

That is why, even in the Kingdom of God, we have difficulty laying aside our personal agendas and embracing God's expansive agenda of love. It is so expansive and all encompassing that He gave His only son that we would be able to live forever. Yet, without love it is hard to find the hope and faith that this world desperately needs as people's lives cacophonously cry out for resolutions to their problems and concerns. When we lay down our meager notions of how to resolve problems and bring harmony into a hurting world then we can walk in the power of the God's true enduring love.

 

Love is the most powerful and enduring force to ever exist because God is love-it is stronger than death itself. According to Paul, But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love. 1 Cor 13:13 (ASV)

 

Let us all cry out Hosanna! Hosanna! But let our lives scream, "I LOVE GOD"!

SCRIPTURES

  

And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Mark 11:9 (KJV)

 

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing. 1 Cor 13:1-3 (ASV)

 

But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love. 1 Cor 13:13 (ASV)

 

Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned. Song 8:6-7 (KJV)

  

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 1 John 3:18-19 (KJV)


 

 PRAY


Father

 

Teach me how to love! My deepest desire is to love You with all my heart, mind and soul and to love others as well as I display this love not by my mere words, but through compassionate actions and deeds. The love that flows from You to the Son, please pour that same love into me whereas I can spread it abroad throughout the earth. In doing so, others will be able to exclaim, "I love God" and share that expansive enduring love with others as well.

 

Amen
