Theme: “Being in Abundant Love” Text: 1 Thessalonians 3:12
12. May the Lord increase more and more among you, and towards all, this charity which we ourselves have for you,
Let's remember:
Love or charity is like an organ in the body that expands as we grow in obedience to God. Love is nourished by the Word of God; which itself nourishes our faith. Every Christian's love must grow or it will be stationary or backslidden. This is why we must submit our capacity to love to God because it is He who gives us the strength to love. But it is up to us to maintain this strength to love by counting on Him. He who loves is from God because God is love. This is to say that without the love of God in the heart, our love for our neighbor will be weak if not variable. However, love should not be tied to seasons or circumstances. Love should not depend on our mood or our understanding. It must be permanent and not circumscribed in a limited period. What would happen if our love stopped growing? Well, we will love with an ephemeral love without deep roots. Our love will only last for a flash like the interrupted light of the firefly. The growth cycle of love must be continuous and growing. No one can make our love grow to the point of making it abundant; on the contrary, men will help us dissolve the little love we have. Let's not be one of those who destroy the love of others. Let us therefore count on God to make our love grow and truly become children of God; for we recognize a true son of God by his love for his heavenly Father and by that for his neighbour. Excellent Tuesday. Amen Alain Louz.-
