I have just reproduced the points. Its so simple to understand and very powerful when we reflect on them.When we truly understand and follow it , undoubtedly it would change the life for better.
Here is a list of points of Joyce Meyer's video.GOD IS LOVE. IMMITATE GOD AND WALK ON THE PATH OF LOVE.
Love has many different facets. It sparkles in many ways.
Its not just mere saying of the words . Its like are we going to be there when somebody needs us.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE THERE WHEN ONE NEEDS AN UNDERSTANDING, MERCY, FORGIVENESS.
Are we going to be there when one rises or will we be there when one falls down.
People sometimes, forget easily even the most important persons in their lives.
The True Nature of Love :
1) Love endures long, the ability to put up for long time.
2) Love is patient and kind.
3) Love is never envious.
4) Love is not jealous, boastful, doesnt not think of the self ( I ).
5) Love doesnt have opinions and doesnt think it is right and others wrong.
6) Love doesnt display itself. It acts right.
7) Love is not rude, doesnt inflate with pride.
8) Love doesnt insist having its own way.Its not self seeking.
9) LOVE DOESNT KEEP RECORDS OF WRONG.
10)Love doesnt make any faces.
11) Love never gives up. It doesnt give up in rough years.
12) Love will adapt and adjust to other people.
13) Love prefers other people to go first and have the best.
14) LOVE IS A GUIDING STAR.
We make wrong choices and we take things or people for granted
Love is a behavior, its not an act but an attitude. Love is seen in how we treat people.
Its like putting on a behavior, like we put on a dress. Choose for a purpose.
Its the behavior that we choose. Even if it is so difficult we choose LOVE.And we choose because we are children of GOD and our God has said to do so. We do it for god. We live before God.Our reward doesnt come from people. They may not even notice it.But by following God's principles, we are obeying him , glorifying him. When we glorify God, he will glorify us.
Good manners help in marriages.When we want to impress someone, we can control ourselves irrespective of the situation. We can be willling to change ourselves instead of trying to change our circumstances. We can control ourselves if we want to be strong. We can make a decision that we can be someone who people want to be with, not the person who people dread to be with. Everyday we can start our day with a clean slate without any recordings of wrong or
any ill feeling. Actually compatibility between couple is a rare thing that happens. But whats possible is we can MAKE OURSELVES COMPATIBLE. Accept them as they are , meditate on the good than the bad things.
Where there is anger, there is no space for LOVE.
An angry person cannot walk in love. All impatience is a little tiny spurt of anger.What is right for us may not be right for other person. The real reason that we get angry is "I". If we dont get things done in our way, we tend to get upset and anger follows.
Anger is rooted in pride and selfishness. We leave the root and we deal with the fruit. When we are upset , if we can take a few deep breaths and calm our mind and analyse the root cause, it wud show up the real cause. Environment and circumstances dont create tempers, it only brings tempers thats already within us. A wise man talks to himself and God , when hes angry, not to people.
One powerful thing if we can bear in our minds and remember, will always guide us.
" We should forgive others as GOD FORGIVES US".
Before controlling the actions, we should try to control the thoughts. They have to be straightened up before the actions are.
EVERYDAY IN OUR LIFE IS A TEST AND TRUST. ONE HAS TO REFLECT "DID I PASS MY TEST OR FAIL".BUT ONE THING IS THAT , WE DONT FLUNK GODS SCHOOL. WE HAVE TO TAKE OVER AND OVER UNTIL WE PASS.
A wonderful story is said at the end of the video that makes an immense impact and reach our hearts , change the due course of our lives forever.
True Love
Gods discipline feels like beatings. But they are BLESSINGS IN OUR LIVES.
