Romans 5:5 (KJV)
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
The call to love is not a commandment to us who are new covenant Christians. We don’t function by rules and commandments. Love is our nature. As for you and me, our word is found in the scripture above, “the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts.” We don’t love by commandment but by nature. Our hearts are marinated in love. We are soaked into Jesus’ love; consequently, we don’t need to be commanded to love. It just comes out as naturally as breathing.
Choose to love and be a minister of reconciliation to your family and friends. There is no room to hold grudges or enmity. Jesus Christ is coming back, and there is no time for games and adversity. Love in all things and at all times; that is the nature of one whose heart is marinated in love by our Lord Jesus Christ.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I love, not by commandment but by nature. Today and every day, I choose to love and make peace with everyone around me. I offload grudges and enmity in the Name of Jesus.
