This brings to mind that:
God is love
but
Love is not necessarily God.
IOW, as Christians, we should do what is most loving and best for others, rather than what makes "us" feel good.
If that makes sense? I see many today who act out of feelings rather than doing the tough things that may REALLY be the love of God....as an example...."enabling" an addict, or coddling a grown child that needs to be maturing. There are things of the world today, that on the surface, appear to be loving, yet all the while are really the devil's way of "bondage". Take for instance today's welfare system...people have approved these things initially thinking it was helping those less fortunate, but now it has mushroomed into a program that has created a nation that has become entirely weak and does not know the value of a day's work...it has created sinfully lazy people who feel entitled. This is NOT the love of Jesus. Jesus does not cripple people, but rather delivers them and strengthens them.
God is Love
And to practice and walk in true love, is to have the heart of Jesus, which is to have the "best interests" of people in mind...and not what makes us look/feel good or kind.
I do hope that my comments are in line with the topic, but this was something I was strongly lead to post.
In His Love,
Suzanne
