Love Bears Burdens

“Bear” is defined as: to carry; to hold up; support; to be accountable for; to have a tolerance for; endure. We often think that sympathizing with someone is bearing their burden, but relating to someone’s pain, offense, sin, or worrisome situation can often just add to the weight rather than help alleviate.

Have you ever shared a bad report about yourself and someone responded by telling you how they knew someone who didn’t overcome such a thing? Maybe you were offended and someone shared that they were also offended, or just took up your offense? When others are burdened by situations or circumstances, we are called to help carry a part of the weight and help them through it, not add to it.

Here are several ways to bear another’s burden:

Offer a God perspective that helps bring them emotional healing or a resolution to a situation, and help walk them through that process
Lead them back to faith by sharing scriptures or testimonies of overcoming
Offer to be part of the solution by meeting practical needs and showing the goodness of God in their difficult seasons
Be the accountability partner that points them to the truth in the Word that speaks to their issue
Pray with them instead of commiserating and jumping into the muck with them
Remember, Bearing one another’s burdens fulfills the law of Christ [Christian Love] (Galatians 6:2 AMP).

Point of Action:

What personal self-sacrifice, even small, could you offer to lighten another's burden today?

Love Builds Up

God is a builder. Even in the broken world, we live in He is building His church. The method He uses to build is love. It is His nature and He gives us the wonderful privilege of sharing His love. When we do it builds lives, bonds us together, and blesses those that experience it.

We must be careful when building because there are many things that can divide us from others and break down what was built. A simple disagreement over an opinion can cause bitter fighting. Even an internal thought that we know better than someone else can elevate our pride and separate us from people.

Thankfully God has given us a power that brings us together and builds us up again; love! Where things have been broken we can build again by getting back to the beginning. His love doesn’t divide us, it unites us. When we operate in His love it builds bonds that cannot be broken and make us stronger together than we ever could have been apart.

Show God’s love every way you can to as many as you can through your words and deeds. Bless and build lives through the power of love. Ultimately you will be building alongside God in building His church!

Point of Action:

Look for opportunities to express love and build others up. Recognize any people you have been divided from and seek the Lord for His wisdom. Ask God how He wants you to show love and then follow the directions He gives.

Love Considers

Many people want to know how they can love God better. Let me ask a different question: “How can I love people better?”

This is what the Scripture says,

If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates (works against) his [Christian] brother he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen (1 John 4:20 Amp).

Throughout the year God has extended mercy and grace to all of us and our families. Giving grace to another person is simply to forgive them, unconditionally, just as God forgave us through Christ. "Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you" (Colossians 3:13, NIV).

We can’t love God better or more if we can’t be honest with ourselves about our need to do better at loving people. But it takes time to consider a specific thing you can do to express love to them, and then courage to actually do it.

So how can I keep loving my brothers and sisters better? Please read the opening scripture again. How would you like to be loved? What would it look like for you to do that for other people?

Faith Declaration:

Today I will remember that I can love God better by loving people better. So I will ask God to help me consider specific ways I can show His love to people around me.

Love Remains

Early in our marriage my wife and I had one of those knock up drag out arguments. We yelled and cursed, threw insults—the whole nine yards. Many times, this kind of fight can set the tone for the relationship. We were not following Christ at the time but my wife did something that so demonstrated the love of God. I am hypoglycemic, so my body doesn’t metabolize the sugar in my body correctly. The only treatment is to eat. I had suffered many blackouts and hospitalizations. My wife, cooking the whole time we were fighting, walked over, set my dinner down in front of me, and walked away saying, “I don’t like you right now but I love you and you need to eat”.

Romans 5:8 describes the unconditional love that I witnessed that night. Please read it again with this in mind.

What I witnessed that night was the earthly manifestation of the love of God in a marriage. Most times in a relationship our first impulse in a disagreement is to withhold love. This passage of scripture shows us how to react in a way the reflects true love. God’s love is not based on our performance, past or present. Praise Him for that because on our best day, we don’t deserve it. The love of God looks past our faults and meets our needs every time.

Faith Declaration:

By God’s grace, I will love like He does.

LOVE OVERCOMES OBJECTIONS

Ever wonder what was going through Jesus’s mind as He washed the feet of Judas? A man He chose, taught, ministered to, and loved, but knew He would soon betray Him? Since He was tempted like we are, He must have thought about skipping Judas, or waiting until he left. What would I have done? Would I have seen past the betrayal? Would I have overcome objections and chosen to love?

As Christians, we are called to be like Christ and reflect His love in all that we do. That task is easier when people are lovable and kind, but not when they aren't. People you have chosen, trusted, and loved will fail you. That's tough! How will you react? Will you choose to forgive and love unconditionally like Jesus? That my friends is the challenge because we can ask the Holy Spirit to help us follow the example of Jesus.

Today, I encourage you to search your heart. Who is God challenging you to love, forgive, and serve? How can you follow Christ’s example to walk in the fullness He has for you?

Prayer:

Jesus, thank you for humbling yourself to serve. Help me to love, serve, and forgive in the same manner. Teach, guide, and forgive me when I fall short. May I be a reflection of your love to a world in desperate need of a savior. Amen.

Love is Extravagant

Love from God isn’t something that always looks like sunshine and rainbows. It is a love that fights for us. This kind of love is one that is steadfast. It is honest even when it isn’t easy to listen to. It is a fight that doesn't always come across as tender but can be seen as pushy.

We may think this can't be love because love is kind and long-suffering and patient. But there is another side of love. It is jealous of anything that would lead you to hell. It's a love that fights the enemy on your behalf. It fights for the weak, sacrifices itself for others, and rescues people from evil. It speaks the truth in love, it requires trust, and it cuts away the places that lead you to hell. This love is extreme and extravagant.

God's love is one that will love humanity all the way to hell if it has to. What does that mean? Jesus is this love! He doesn't want anyone to go to hell. He has provided the way for all to be delivered, rescued, and restored. But because He is love, He gives us free will choice. And if we choose to love God, we must also leave our desires and our flesh behind. If we love our desires and flesh more, we give ourselves over to the enemy. Those are actions that will lead us to hell. God will fight for us with His love. But if we keep running back to play with the lion or the bear, the outcome will be obvious.

Point of Action:

Today listen to love, listen to God, and say, “No!” to His enemies. His love is so big and deep. Immerse yourself in Him and all will fall into place.

Love Prays

What a verse. It is dynamite! You are a child of God, and our Jesus is interceding for us permanently to save us completely. Do you believe it? You are keeping Jesus busy, and He is working overtime because of you. What kind of love is that? He sacrificed His perfect life for you, blessed you with all spiritual blessings, and now He is interceding from heaven!

Let’s keep coming in prayer all the days of our lives to God through Jesus as He lives to intercede for us!

Jesus, King of kings, Lord of lords, the Highest Priest, and the Ultimate and perfect fulfillment of the promises of God, is interceding for you consistently. Can you imagine Jesus sitting at the right side of our heavenly Father, praying for you in and out of season? Praying for you diligently? Do you realize how important you are to Jesus?

You might be reading this devotional wondering where God is after months or years of presenting that petition that makes you wonder, “Is He even listening?” Our Father is not only listening to you, but Jesus lives to intercede for you, and the Holy Spirit helps you pray (Romans 8:26). What an encouragement for you to join Jesus in His ministry of intercession, and keep praying!

This is a wake-up call! Don’t give up. Be bold and have good courage. Your responsibility is to persevere, to be transformed by the power of His word, to be empowered by the Holy Spirit, and very important, to keep praying for yourself and others. Even while you are sleeping, Jesus is interceding for you. Alleluia!

Prayer:

Intercessor Jesus, I want to join You in prayer now, and throughout the day as you bring people to mind. For whom do You want me to pray now? …Amen. And I will pause and pray as You bring people to mind today. Amen.

Love Abounds

Paul loved the Philippian believers. They were living God-centered lives and God was actively working in their midst. They supported Paul’s ministry while imprisoned. In Paul’s overflow of gratitude, he prayed that the love they were expressing towards him would increase even more! He knew their acts of love would produce greater levels of discernment and they would bring even greater glory to God.

Paul knew the power of love. If the believers would keep sacrificing to not only meet his needs, but also sacrifice even more to love each other, love their neighbor, and love the world, their ability to recognize and participate in the work of God would supernaturally increase. Their spiritual eyes would open to new insight because of their outpouring of their love. Their love expressed would place them in the center of fulfilling God’s purpose for their own lives. Lives full of meaning and purpose with the satisfaction of sowing fruit for eternity. The key… loving more and more. God hasn’t changed. Love still unlocks the purpose, plan, and call of God in our lives.

Point of Action:

Ask God how you can invest your time and resources to love more and better. Then follow through, so that your love abounds into purposefulness now and for eternity!

Love Sees Potential

In this verse, “love” is used to describe the nature of God’s love toward us: a sacrificial, self-giving love, pursuing our good at God’s own expense. It is an undeserved love poured out upon all sinners. God’s love is completely different than the world’s love. The world says, “I’ll love you if you are worth loving.” God says, “I love you unconditionally.”

Our commission at The Rock Church is to “love people to life.” God has called us to be a church in and around San Bernardino, which has recently been ranked as the most dangerous city in California. That means He trusts us to take His love to those around us, who on the outside appear to have no hope. He wants us to see what He sees, and help them become what He sees them as: successful, thriving, born-again believers!

I’m inspired by one of the greatest sculptors in history: Michelangelo. It is said, when others saw what they deemed a “useless piece of stone,” he saw a hidden masterpiece. Here are two of his famous quotes:

“Every block of stone has a statue inside and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.”
“I saw an angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”
God poured out His love upon us when we were still sinners. He didn’t wait for us to get our lives together or tell us to get into good shape first. He saw the angel in each of us and sacrificially loved us so we could cooperate with Him to take on the shape in His mind’s eye.

Faith Declaration:

By God’s grace, today I will look to see the masterpiece God sees in at least three people, and ask Him how I can help them see it too.
