![]() ![]() For us to be effective in combating the evil that is running rampant in this world, we must be at a place in our lives where the love of God inside us is so apparent that people cannot help but notice the light of Christ shining through us when they look our way. That’s why it’s so critical that we allow God to do the work on our hearts. One minute they are one of the sweetest people you ever will meet and the next minute you looking at them like someone needs to perform an exorcism on that demon inside of them. That’s why we see people in the church who seem like two different people sometimes. ![]() Since their heart has not been healed, that pain or anger inside of them will manifest itself in different areas of that person's life. People who have not allowed God to heal them in the broken places of their heart will always struggle with being able to love their neighbor. They have become so familiar with carrying around their hurt, bitterness, and resentment that it has become like a bad smell that they’ve become used to because they are around it all of the time, but those around them are utterly repulsed by the residue of it. On the contrary, when we do obey God’s commands, we will have the opportunity to experience the fullness of what God has for us here on earth. God’s decision to place these commandments in our lives is an act of love towards us, because God understands when we step outside of the boundaries that He puts in place for us, there is danger waiting for us on the other side. Cause the pain that's inside me, would simply melt away If i had you here with me and promise me you'd stay But will you say that you love me And show me that you care Say when I need you, you will always be there But if you go and leave me This I swear is true, my love will always be with you Aaaaah But Will You Say that you love me And show. Although God knows His children will not get it right every time, at the end of the day, He is looking for people who will repent when they fall short and will continue to strive to be obedient to His commands. I believe that when Jesus said this, he is saying that God is looking for people who have the desire and heart to obey God’s will. The Pharisees were some of the most legalistic people you will ever meet, and we see throughout the Bible that Jesus wasn’t the least bit impressed with them. Say You Love Me is a song by British singer and songwriter Jessie Ware from her second studio album, Tough Love (2014). Now I must point out that God is not looking for people to be legalistic when it comes to His commandments. It’s pretty clear here that an expression of our love for God is our willingness to obey His teachings. ![]()
