when His love knocks how will you answer?

i have recently been greatly over whelmed with the concept of the Lord’s love… and the title of this blog is a question i am asking myself not only those who will read it… i have prayed for God’s overwhelming love in my life for my life was not 100% filled with His love.. and i knew i was missing a very special part of my relationship with God… so for the past few weeks i have been searching for Him in every aspect i can.. and he as answered my prayers beyond my wildest dreams…from my summer internship with my church to buying a car this summer… from my current relationship with my boyfriend to my relationships with friends here in my hometown to those friends living in different states… from feeling lonely and helpless to having amazing moments with friends and him..

so with all of these answered prayers and the overwhelming love i have felt what will my response be… is what i feel God asking me… well i truly feel lead to share that wonderful love with others young and old.. and i have been able to do so and it has been so rewarding… i have loved loving ppl.. as corning as that may sound it’s the truth.. its been a good while since i have felt complete in my relationship with Christ… and i can honestly say i have begun the journey to completion.. i can’t say for sure that it is complete nor will it ever be while here on earth. thats the beauty and the hope we have in heaven! that our love for him will be complete because we will be complete in him by then..

today i have the privileged of attending a staff meeting for my church SeaCoast in charleston, sc… my church is one of twelve campuses and once a month they gather.. and today one of our pastors spoke on 2 Peter 1:5 : which reads:

⁵For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; ⁶and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; ⁷and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. ⁸For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.

he spoke specially on verses five through seven… and how each is so import to foster each.. and how they are bound in love.. and so many other things i have heard, read, and just seen has been so amazingly filled with love.. my heart is over flowing with love.. and its been a good long while since its been this way.. and i wanted t give God the glory honor and praise for without him i wouldnt be where i am today! i plan to foster these areas to only increase my love for him and his people… so thats how i desire to answer the knock.
