turtle30cshell Daily Devotions For June 15, 2021
God Love Is More Then Good Intentions
06/15/2021

Daily Devotions:
by Christina Farris

1 John 4:8-14 KJV
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

The other day I heard someone say, I will visit soon, or I be glad to help, but the truth do they ever truly help. Good intentions is not the love of God because until love is demonstrated it is not love. God demonstrates his love through his provision, through sending his Son to die for our sins. In truth be known we all hae good intentions sometimes, but good intentions are not a demonstration of love. We may all like to help people as believers, but do we? The question how do we help, by God's Spirit or do we add to the chaos in someone life? If one corrects another is that love, most would probably say it depends on what it is. It is a matter of life and death, correction is welcome, if it is trivial correction is not wanted. God defining his love based on the gift he gave of his Son to pay the price for our sin. This is a matter of life and death. Without faith, without believing God's rules, and God's way, according to scripture then we lost and living in a world of sin destine for hell.

God is love, if he demonstrate not his love most people would probably starve, yet there are thousands of starving people around the world. Look online at videos of starving people down to their bone due to proverty and not because of unwilling to work or to obtain a job. Situation causing health issues beyond even government full control. Education needed to help the starving, especially for those just reaching proverty. Better several meals a day with less then no meals at all. Learning portion control, solid meal preparation and how to buy to survive. Walking around several stores in the area it seemed some shelves are still missing some products, and the reason is still Cov-19. Yet the reality of the this is things have changed in world. As government officials honored those that died of the disease as people not forgotten, we wonder why Lord did you take so many home to be with you. Is not proverty world wide hard enough without the complication of changes of business powers and control, with loss of life?

The word of God is clear there will be wars, rumors of wars, famine, hardships and so forth til the coming of Christ. When God's word comes forth, then people repent and world changes for good. God in his wisdom got ministers online that would of never been online because of a pandemic because of their desire to continue to feed God's flock the word of God. They continue to feed those unable to attend a church service is a plus for many communities worldwide. Some churches saying yes this is a mission field for them and others saying it takes time to do all this. It okay, God knows how to send the word forth, if you can't someone else will, hoping always that it is people that will divide the word correctly and teach the grace of God.

Do we get bogged down only seeing the spirit of love because of our action or do we see love in person form as Jesus, as God and the Holy Spirit? We can not separate the idea that love is Spirit/God from being a person in regards to identy of a superior being then us and yet willing to come down to our level to help us and demonstrate his love through His Son Jesus, who rose from the grave and departed from the earth to live with the Father.

The spirit of a prep rally is often thought as the Spirit of God as we celebrate in the worship of God, but it more then rally in unison of worship and praise. God is is individual defined as true love, and/ amazing grace. We name our animals by color, unique names they respond too, or by personality traits. God is defined by his traits and label has his traits that are demonstrated in the world He not only created but desire to save. God performed his trait of love(defined as amazing grace). The trait of all believers is love, but not all always demonstrate, sometimes our words are sediments and not true grace. grace needs action in order for us to understand that the word God is love. God's own love demonstrated is only part of faith. Love must be shown also by us back to God by caring for others. If we fail to demonstrate the love of God how will the world know that God is love, that God is more then love.

Dear Heavenly Father, may grace rule in our hearts and may we demonstrate the love of God. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study: 1 John 4:2 KJV
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

Colossians 3:1-4 KJV
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
