so, why does God say our love fails? How does the Lord God help us to love like He does?
How To Choose Love 3 -David CLURE
The Lord Jesus Christ, opened the door of my heart in 1974, and as a teenager I began to follow Him. Slowly He has been transforming my heart over the subsequent decades, and correcting many of the early misconceptions about His teachings that I acquired from those who made errors in their personal studies and passed them along as God's truth. For example, one very well known Bible Scholar and commentator wrote that Jesus only performed one miraculous feeding of His followers.
Well, one day as I was reading Matthew, the Lord showed me that there were actually TWO recorded incidents of feeding thousands of people from bread and fishes. From that encounter with God's Word, I learned that I must not depend upon second-hand, hand-me-down recollections of what God has written in His Word, but that personal study and prayer are not a luxuries for the few, but things each follower of Jesus Christ must do. That being said, I will move on:
There is an immutable, eternal purpose...for the Human Race. And it has been revealed to...us...by our Creator.
That ONE purpose, which all Humans share in, was revealed in the Garden of Eden. That purpose is to Love.
Humans may have their own special circumstances and constellations of people within that one Main purpose, but without exception each and every Human has been created to Love- to love God as He defines Love, and to love our fellow Humans as God has loved us.
