A Powerful Four Letter Word
Webster’s New world dictionary defines love as “strong affection or liking for someone or something.” But to me the Bible’s definition of love is actually a person. His name is Jesus. He is at the center of my streams of life. The love that pours out of Him is indescribable. You feel it, and it makes you cry. The love that is from God the Holy Spirit has given me insurmountable compassion for the lost. It has generated energy to do good works. It has certainly showed me how to be a friend. When I was without Jesus I thought I knew what love was, I had some rendition of it. But I believe the love that is from God is definitely causing growth in these streams. I know it is a process and the more I put my faith and trust in the Savior along with reading His word and praying to Him, day by day it will become a literal part of me and everyone else I come in contact with. Who would ever think a four letter word could derive so much energy. If you have never felt love or have no absolute clue of an example of it, just think of the cross and our Savior on it and the complete nonrecognition, to pay a penalty that we could not pay. That is the Love powering my streams daily. Praise the Living God forever!

Berty, it is an awesome thing that Jesus is the center of your streams. Continue to keep Him there. I can truly see where the love of God has caused some massive growth in your life. Keep striving with the Savior.
Great thoughts here! At the center of the Christian life is not just an idea, there is a person! Jesus is central and Jesus is the ultimate expression of God’s love.
