This came to me prophetically this morning as I cried out to God: To live in the fullness of the kingdom is to fully live in a manner governed by love.
What does love look like? What does kingdom life look like?
- Love never gives up.
- Love cares more for others than for self.
- Love doesn’t covet from others what it doesn’t have.
- Love doesn’t strut about,
- Doesn’t have a swelled head,
- Doesn’t force itself on others,
- Isn’t always “me first,”
- Doesn’t fly off the handle,
- Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
- Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
- Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
- Puts up with anything,
- Trusts God always,
- Always looks for the best,
- Never looks back,
- But keeps going to the end. (1 Cor. 13 Mess.)
This is the kingdom transformation I’m unrelentingly pursuing–will you join me? Assignment: find someone in your sphere of influence today and be intentional to exercise love towards him or her. Christ is King.
