LOVE: THE INTERWOVEN CONCEPT OF TOLERANCE, PEACE, AND PATIENCE WITH ONE ANOTHER

NOW IS THE TIME TO SHOW LOVE: THE INTERWOVEN CONCEPT OF TOLERANCE, PEACE, AND PATIENCE WITH ONE ANOTHER

There is no specific time nor place for these qualities to be useful but at all times and in all places. The relationships formed from such qualities are solid and viable ones. We as God’s human creation, were created out of love, God’s Agape love, the highest form of love. If it weren’t for This love, we would all be going to hell in a hand basket. Because regardless of how much we see and know YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus, loves us, we have reached a place in time when hate seems to be the key which opens every door, the life of every person; whereas love and temperance seem to close them and Jesus, who is the Life has become (to those who have given themselves over to sin) a by-product. It should be the other way around, don’t you think? But man has lost something special; a God-given ability to love in spite of; beyond the faults of others and see the resounding depth of hearts that once were; love covers all. It is going to take a whole lot of love (with the strength of the Father) for us to rethink, revisit, and maintain our commitment of love to God and to one another.

Yes, we see that times are getting darker and darker; people are constantly confronting each other, not in love but hate. Somewhere at all times, someone is always against another; that’s not righteous. And love, which helps give us peace of mind, is fleeting to the point it has almost become a rare gem. Because those who are destroying the foundation of love refuse to let go of hate; as we know, those who are God’s children, know that love is the key to so many of life’s doors. It, God’s love/charity, covers a multitude of sins, every single day for us. (1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins). When these doors are opened such wonderful things can be found because they are of God.

But those who will themselves to hate, let go of love and pride themselves on being a person who is hard to love; becoming one of the unlovable. Yes, it is hard to love the unlovable but with God all things are possible. Throughout the Bible, it encourages us to love people, even our enemies (unlovable), to do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; God will repay. This is why He has set the example and has given us through prayer and supplications, the ability to do so. No, it is not going to be easy but isn’t it worthwhile to always follow God’s Word, Jesus? So, we must do so with lowliness and meekness, enduring longsuffering, forbearing one another in love. (Ephesians 4:2 – With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;).  We need to ask the LORD to take us back to that place where we first met Jesus; anchor us to the alter of His love until our hearts have truly matured and know how to love with sincerity and without reservation. To maintain the purest and true form of love (God’s AGAPE) we must always pray, keeping the line of communication opened between you and our Father, through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ; the Light of Love that shines, eternally. Matthew 5:44 and Luke 6:27-28 also encourage us that we are to love our enemies and pray for those who willfully and manipulatively hurt or harm you. These verses highlight the fact that God’s love extends to everyone. And to those who claim to be believers are the ones called to reflect that love, especially while we are walking through the valley of chaos, confusion, and even death; even to those who are considered unlovable. This is a lot to expect from us as mere humans but if we remain in the Word, Will, and way of God it can be achieved, not with ease but with purpose. As committed children of God all things, not just some, but all things are possible with the help and strength of YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus. (Luke 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil).

None of us are perfect, polished,people but with God’s love, grace and mercy we can be persuaded to become His righteous children; loving and showing compassion for each other even in the bitter times. It is often true that our flaws have a tendency of getting up with us each morning, (we thank God for waking us up each morning and ask Him to guide us through the day) but we must be vigilance and aggressive in our hope, trust, and faith in Jesus that He will block, strengthen, get rid of unnecessary baggage, and go with us as we move through the day. And when we go to bed, we hope, through His revelations, convictions, guidance, and studying His Word (Jesus), many of those flaws don’t retire with us at night, to revisit the next day. All our persuasions of perfection point to Jesus as the advocate who intercedes for us. (1 John 2:1-2 1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world

It is because of this inability to right our own wrong with love, peace, and patience that we should follow Jesus’ example of love. Since we arenot a perfect people, we must always go to God in prayer, and ask Him to help us rid that, about us, which is contrary to His Way (Jesus is the Way). In other words, to love us back to wholeness; love us back to life; restore our souls so we can be as accommodating to our brothers and sisters. Because many of us have come too far to give up now. But due to all the sin, chaos, and confusion we are waning in faith, trust and belief. But we will gird up our mind, heart, and soul’s loin to continue to fight the good fight with Jesus (God’s Love) in the forefront of our lives.  Without God’s love (for all of us) to provide the truth as it should be told (not skirting around it, lies), guidance through the valley of the shadow of death for all that is Holy, and strength to endure the evil that have besiege the world we would all perish. Because if YHWH, God, the Father, in the name of Yashuah, Jesus, the Son does not reign in this unholiness the ability to be tolerant of each other will abandon our hearts and gone silent in the recess of our minds. God knows and acknowledges our ongoing struggles, within self and those in the world. (1 Corinthians 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 1 John 3:2-3 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure).  

So, it is with patience, forbearance, and longsuffering that we show what the Bible emphasizes when it comes to the importance of love, forgiveness, and unity in all we do. Even though there is a lot for us to understand regarding the Will and Way of God’s Word, when we concentrate on the basics or foundational principle of the Word, Jesus, we will see that all of these are interwoven in the concept of how believers should interact with God, one another, the world. This is especially true in the middle of differences and disagreements; now is the time to show love, practice tolerance, and have patience, so that we can live in peace with one another. GOD’S GOT IT, NO WORRY, NO FEAR.
