0804 让爱掌管
真理的启示唯有借着我的爱才能实现。当你活在我的爱中时，我必会借着你的生命和你的话语来彰显我自己。你周围有许多人需要我；去爱他们，他们就会看见我。正如我的话语所言，我赐给你的不是惧怕的灵，而是爱的灵。当你心中充满我的爱时，我圣洁的同在就会从你的心中涌流出来。许多人会试图使你偏离这份宝贵的财富，但你的眼目要定睛于我，我也必用我的爱紧紧地扶持你。
让其他一切都成为爱的附属品，爱必须主宰你的生命、言语、行为和思想。爱人必须成为你生命中的主要动力。你内心最深切的渴望必须是先认识我、爱我，然后将这份爱倾注于他人。让爱激励你，让怜悯提升你，让智慧指引你，仇敌就永远不能欺骗你，使你陷入带着愧疚的服事。看清我的作为，与我的灵保持同步，你就永远不会被榨干，也不会越过爱的健康界限。
如果某人说“我爱上帝”，却对其他信徒怀有仇恨。这说明他是伪君子，因为如果你不爱看得见的弟兄姐妹，又怎能真正爱看不见的上帝呢？——约翰一书 4:20
0804 Let love rule
The revelation of truth can only come through my love. As you live in my love, I will show myself through your life and through your words. Many are those around you who need me; love them, and they will see me. As my Word says, I have not given you a spirit of fear, but the spirit of love. My holy presence will spill from your heart as you overflow with my love. Many will attempt to distract you from this treasure, but your eyes are fixed on me, and I will hold you fast in my love.
Let all other things become supplemental to love. Love must rule your life, words, actions, and mindset. Loving must become the primary motive of your life. The deepest desire of your heart must be to know and love me first, then to pour that love out to others. Let love compel you. Let compassion lift you. Let wisdom lead you, and the enemy will never be able to trick you into guilty service. See what I’m doing and remain in sync with my Spirit, and you will never be sucked dry or step outside the healthy boundaries of love.
Anyone can say, “I love God,” yet have hatred toward another believer. This makes him a phony, because if you don’t love a brother or sister, whom you can see, how can you truly love God, whom you can’t see? –1 JOHN 4:20
