You Will Learn to Walk in Love
As you learn to walk in the
spirit of prayer, you will learn to walk in love, because the Spirit of love,
the Holy Spirit will teach you the same. He will keep reminding you:
“This
is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has
greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends,” (John
15:12-13).
We are supposed to make “LOVE
our AIM”, in other words we are supposed to make “walking in love” our top post
priority.
“PURSUE
LOVE and strive for the spiritual gifts, and especially that you may prophesy,”
(1 Corinthians 14:1).
Many times we miss the mark of
walking in love, when trouble rises from others; we tend to walk in our old
ways of resentment.
And at those times the Spirit
of God reminds us to forgive and walk in love. Many years ago, one person of
our group was going around slandering me; I literally got fed up, and went to
meet our Procurator, as I reached his room, and I was
going to enter, I heard the Holy Spirit say, “walk in love”, I returned without
meeting Father. I literally shook myself
to get rid of all the resentment that had wrapped me. And continued to
walk in love without any resentment against that person.
“Paul had gathered a bundle of brushwood an was
putting it on the fire, when a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself
on his hand…He, however, shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no
harm,” (Acts 28:3-5).
Like Paul we need to shrug of
the vipers of bitterness that wraps us as we serve the Lord, the Spirit of God
within us will help us do the same.
The Holy Spirit know the words
of Jesus “And because of the increase of
lawlessness, the love of many will grow cold,” (Matthew 24:12). He will
help praying people, to continue to
walk in love.
