Made Complete in Love

God's Word: Dear friends, don’t believe all people who say that they have the Spirit. Instead, test them. See whether the spirit they have is from God, because there are many false prophets in the world. 2 This is how you can recognize God’s Spirit: Every person who declares that Jesus Christ has come as a human has the Spirit that is from God. 3 But every person who doesn’t declare that Jesus Christ has come as a human has a spirit that isn’t from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist that you have heard is coming. That spirit is already in the world.
4 Dear children, you belong to God. So you have won the victory over these people, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 These people belong to the world. That’s why they speak the thoughts of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We belong to God. The person who knows God listens to us. Whoever doesn’t belong to God doesn’t listen to us. That’s how we can tell the Spirit of truth from the spirit of lies. 1 John 4:1-6

Divine Love: Made Complete in Love 

Wisdom Shared:  Evidence of the Spirit is Love ... Love is what perfect us and displays the evidence of the power of the Holy Spirit present in us because we’ve been made complete in God’s love. We love because God First loved us.  When we love through the power of the living God and empowerment of the Holy Spirit love is not burdensome.  When we find people and close family members, intimate relationships burdensome then we are not relying on the power of Christ or empowerment of the Holy Spirit to express love.  Love is attribute that clearly binds us together in union of Christianity. Love is evidence of God's workings in us through submission to God.  Our purposes become visible through trust, delight,  commitment to the Lord... Be still wait patiently for HIM! Do not worry... especially when evil people appear to prosper successfully in their wicked ways. refrain from anger because it leads to the path of evil. God is our avenger; Yes, Beloved, God will destroy the evil -- but the righteous who's hope is in the Father will inherit the land.  The Promises of God are right and pure;  Yes, the word of God establishes these very powerful virtuous attributes  worthy of our full attention.  It is in the Holy Scriptures that teach us ... feeds our souls to the very core  that completes us through power of Christ in us.  ---  The LORD's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over. Psalm 12:6  That is the result of trusting in the Lord with empowerment through His Love.

Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance,

In Christ Love

Trust in the Lord and do good;

    dwell in the land(E) and enjoy safe pasture.(F)

4 

Take delight(G) in the Lord,

    and he will give you the desires of your heart.(H)

5 

Commit your way to the Lord;

    trust in him(I) and he will do this:

He will make your righteous reward(J) shine like the dawn,(K)

    your vindication like the noonday sun.

Be still(L) before the Lord

    and wait patiently(M) for him;
