Show you Love

We all know that this life we live in is full of wave, trials and circumstances; i settle down and begin to continue my reading. The night before, when i had an emotional breakdown and depressed; i read the entire letters from Paul to people in Corinthian, 1 and 2 Corinthian. I learnt that situation in Corinthian is similar to our life. Family issues, unity, power, and love among them. When i finish reading Corinthian, which is 2 Cor 13, this verse struck me.

2Co 13:11 Finally, brothers, goodbye. Keep on growing to maturity. Keep listening to my appeals. Continue agreeing with each other and living in peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.

Live in peace! That is what Paul suggest and want the people in Corinthian to do. Than, according to Paul the God of love and peace will be with you.

Maybe some of us face the situation where a lot of un-Christian around us. Un-Christian mean those who call themself a christian, but did not act like one. They call themsel a follower of Christ, but did not follow what exactly Christ told us to do. That's including me! I begin to recheck myself, whether i act like a true disciple or not. Or i just proud of myself, for i was well known in music or in youth ministry? Or did i just pride of my life or ministry experience?

I tell myself, don't be hipocryte!! God did know want to know what we did for Him! God want to know where our heart is! "For not all who call Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of God, but those who do the will of my Father!" The will!! The will!!

In mission in action i know, God's will is not only to win the life for Him; but also to live in unity with one another, to love one another, to accept one another, and to build up one another. I share this, because this is what i'd ben through. The diffculties i'd been through, the ministry i involve in, the circumtances i engage in and the relationship i had; is all oppurtunity God gave me and i shouldn't neglect it.

That's why i really love Jars of Clay song, Show you love. The chorus is "i'm gonna show you love in any language, i'm gonna speak the word that need no font". Meaning that when we care for someone, like Jesus did; love or care have no words. Even we try to explain in any language, Love is more than that. Care is also more than the word we use to explain, until we find no font to write it down.

Bro and sis in Christ, to live in unity is to love and care for one another. God come to this world to His love; that whoever believe in Him shall not perish but will have eternal life!!

GBU all.
