People plagiarize my love all the time, saith The Lord. They love in their own name or in the name of their false gods. The very idea of love is Mine I invented it! I created you to love but pnly through Me! I alone can teach you to love properly. You pervert the blessing I intended when you do not submit to and honur Me. I am the source of love for I am love - yet many in their pride ascribe their love to themselves - to their own goodness and righteousness. My children - you have no goodness of your own, you are corrupt thru and thru. Even when you do "good works", even when you "love one another" you do not do it as I have loved you - For I loved you without expecting or desiring your love in return - I love you unselfishly - I do not love to bring glory to Myself - I love because to do it not would be to deny My own existence, My own nature - I love because without Me you will perish - you, the crown of My creation, the dawn of My desire, the perfume My soul covets - though you left Me, I never stopped desiring you, and redeem you I shall - from every false love that buffets your heart - love of self, love of prestige and position, love of money and love of carnal, worldly comforts. Do not plagiarize, do not copy My love without ascribing it to it's author - in this way you'll keep your heart healthy - acknowledge Me in all you do and I will direct your paths.
You will indeed love perfectly as I have perfectly loved you - you will indeed be the children of My Father - shining brightly in the deep darkness of this Age - ablaze with My Father's glory - for it is always darkest just before the dawn. You will glorify Me with your good works, not yourselves.
All love originates (and ends) with God. Brotherly live - "let brotherly live continue" (Heb:13:1). Jesus is called our older brother and loves us as such. Love between a husband and wife - "For thy Maker is thine Husband" (Is:54:5) " husbands love your wives even as Christ also loved Church, and gave Himself for it" (Ep:5:25). The love between friends - "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends." (John 15:,14). The love of a parent for a child, both a mother's "as one whom a mother comforts, so will I comfort you" (Is:66:17) and Father's "behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us" (1 John 3:1).
Doesn't it make perfect sense that a God as great as He would create a variety of expressions for His love? All the relationships mentioned above are simply different ways HE loves us. Different channels for HIS love to flow through - yet all have one source - HIM! We cannot love apart from Him.
The Devil is incapable of love. Once he rebelled against love (God) and was cast out of fellowship with God's presence - his ability to love was severed. He only knows love of self. He and his disciples practice a hatred disguised as "love". Their form of is superficial at best. It discriminates and chooses who to love and whom not to love. It's a love rooted in pride. Even many church programs are there to show outwardly they are indeed of God - are we not feeding and clothing the poor? They feel good about themselves because they're doing good works yet if it is all done to be seen of men it's all for nought. Many will say to Him "did we not do all these things in Your name?" And He will reply "depart from ME for I never knew you" - LOVE never knew them! They never knew the author of love! They ministered not out of love but out of pride. Look at me! See how good I am!
Oh Lord, please help all ministers, including myself, to see areas in our ministries that are not aligned with You - that do not please You - that do not glorify You - and You alone!
You shall know the Truth (Jesus) and the Truth (Jesus) shall set you free! Not head knowledge but the spirit man Jesus - setting free your captive spirit man - breaking those chains from inside the prison you're held captive in.
