A Christ Follower: The Journey

Love Is A Choice      One of the most inaccurate things a person can believe is that "We fall in love."  Hmmm?  So love involves you or me stumbling into the arena of love by accident? Correct?  And you doing so or me doing so, is completely out of our control?  Right?  Well if this is true, then if you or I can fall in love, we can also stumble our way out of it ... especially if life does not turn out as expected.      Another inaccuracy regarding "love" is that love is the same as you or me feeling all giddy and warm and fuzzy whenever a particular person gets close with whom you or I have supposedly "fallen in love."  Sure we may experience a set of oh so wonderful feelings?  That's fine -- I guess -- because emotions do get involved, especially when things are going well, and especially when the recipient of "love" feels their "lover" is committed to them, accepts them, respects them and empathizes or unders...

Where Does Love Come From?      As I keep on sharing this "Deeply Loved" series on this  blog, it seems the obvious question for Christ-Followers is, "Where does love come from?" First, it is something that God wants to ensure that His children have.  In Deuteronomy 30:6 the Word tells us, "The Lord your God will transform your heart, and the heart of your descendants so that you will love the Lord your God with all your heart and so that you will live."    So it's pretty clear that love does not originate from the human heart, it is transplanted there by our Creator, if we want it.  So, it begins with a promise from God to be given to the people of God.  In other words we can't have love apart from the Creator providing it for us.    Secondly,  not only is love a promise to those who are in relationship with God, it absolutely comes from the Creator to be shared with others by choice. John talks about how this w...
