“IT IS EASER TO HATE THAN TO LOVE”

I do not respect those who hate because to hate is easy.
To truly love is the hardest thing because it will not only cost you what you have, what you know or what you can but what you are.
Do not be deceived, you do not love anyone until you have given up of yourself for others.

Anyone can give from the surplus of what they have such as those to whom Jesus observed in the temple givinfg their offerings in great amounts in comparison with the widow’s night.
But Jesus who sees and weights the heart knows that she has given as the widow of Zereptha in Elijah’s time from all she had and could.

 

Because of their love offering God has blessed and honored them to this day as an example of givers.
By their gift they were blessed because it was reflection of their Faith. “The righteous shall live by Faith.”

Whoever you are, and what ever you give know that it is not the amount you give God takes in account but the faith involved. “For the righteous shall live by faith.”

I live by faith and have lived long enough to see that those who give to the Lord’s little ones for certain are rewarded by the Lord with many blessings.
“For he who gives to the poor lends to the Lord.”
Do not withhold love, respect, honor and obedience where it is due, for you will be doing yourself a favor because God wants you to do so and he is a “Profesional Rewarder” of good things to them who are like God, mercifully and lover to the undeserving by grace alone.

Way too many people have made a virtue in our generation to slander, gossip and talk evil from others and hate without measure.
That is easy, anybody can do that. Any fish can float down the river but it take an alive fish to swim up the stream.
It is by the love for one another that we are known as disciples and followers of Jesus.

Once a woman told me about her wicked mother in law cursing a canary to its face in the cage saying “I wish this stupid bird dies” almost spiting in the little bird’s face in great hate.
The little bird died the next day!
I hear another wicked woman say out loud on a microphone in front of a TV cámara and in the eyes of the millions of people.
“ I have wish many times to blow up The White House”.
The cage of The White House and the little birds inside are not dead or destroyed but thriving and robust.

When a bad curse does not work it is a sign of false prophesy and false prophets in the days of Elijah pay with their lives for their falsehood.
On the other hand, the popular proverb seem evident, “What does not kill you , makes you strong”.
While the clear and clean eyes of “We the people and the all fence sitters are the judge of our peers do execute judgement and will speak loud and clear in the mid term election”.
Be aware America there is more to loud voices and manipulation, puppeteering and spin doctoring in our country.

There is a Sovereign God who is the blessed controller of all things and he is in charge of his world and he delights himself by answering the feeble prayers of those who in childlikeness say by Faith,
“Let us Pray.” 
That is to say let us say, “YES” to God in the name of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Let us Join our feble prayers to the powerful intercessory prayers of Jesus who is at the tight hand of God.

In your intimacy with God in Jesus and the Holy Spirit, you have more Power than you can possible imagine or handle.
Do not feel small or minority as Elijah felt he was the only one left faithful to the Lord.
Even if that would be the case, one plus Jesus is “Majority”.
Be encouraged and know that there are others like you burning with passion for the will of God and are hungry and thirsty for righteousness that soon will be satisfied by the Lord himself.

Love and love even harder. It takes the power of God to love.
Wish love and long life to the little birds in the cage.
You will never be more like God than when you love, because,
“GOD IS LOVE”.

I should not be selling so forcefully as if this fact needs to be sold in discount as a day old bread. No!
But I am willing to be a beggar as long as I can be known as one who is not selling a concept or and ideal idea but a person and that person is Jesus who said,”I am the Life”.
Jesus is the love of God in a person.
If you have Jesus in your heart, you will know it by being able to love.

In his love and mine.

PS. “How can you say you love God to whom you have not seen if you do not love your brother to whom you have seen?”
As my mentor told me before he went to be with the Lord, “Stop making excuses and write that book on prayer.”
I wish you can write me what you have come to understand of prayer in your own words in a childlikeness.
By the way it is not natural to write about prayer either.
