Jesus. Jesus and you!

Perfect Gift Love

Love is the most perfect gift that can ever be given to anyone, or that can be given by someone. Anyone who is not loved and who does not know how to love, is like an empty drum, lots of noise but no substance. What is love? Love is not an eery feeling. Love is not an emotion although emotions can be a part of love. Love is an act of your will. it is something that you choose to do. It is something that you want to do.

Love is when you will do anything at your own cost, to benefit someone else, expecting nothing in return.

For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son. God did not need to send Jesus to us. God did not have to send Jesus to us. God wanted to send Jesus to us, so that we could see and experience perfect love. God gave us the perfect gift in His Son Jesus, who came to us, that we could experience the perfect love of the Father through Jesus, and that those of us who were prepared to receive His gift of love, could gain from it and receive everlasting life.

Jesus gave us two important commandments, first that we should love the Father with all of our hearts, and second that we should love our neighbour as ourselves. Love is to the spirit, what water is in life. Without love, we perish, we dry out out and become dust. Have you ever seen someone that  neither loves nor is loved. They are dry. They are empty. They are an empty drum, full of complaints and moans and noise, but with no life flowing through them.

Love is life! Without love we are empty. Power and money is worth nothing, if there is no love. With power and money  you can perhaps force people to obey you, but you will be empty and lost, without purpose. A river bed that has no water in it. It is said that Stallin was one of the most feared people in the Soviet Union. Anyone who dared to disobey him would suddenly dissapear. But it is also said that when he started to die, those who were around him, did not even try to save him, but merely turned their backs on him, allowing him to die, and that they would be rid of the tyrant. He was empty and without love.

How do you want your life to be, that of a dry river bed, or that river bed where the mighty Amazon river flows through? Jesus is greater than the waters of the Amazon, and He wants to fill the river bed of your life with His perfect  gift of  love, that not only you could be sustained by His love, but that you in turn would supply love and sustain all those around you with love. Love is the giver of life, and what can be better than to live a life full of love for those who are around you, and to be loved in turn by all you know. Look at a full flowing river, and observe how much life is around it. The grass is green, the trees are healthy and all the animals come to it to drink of it.

If you have never experienced the perfect gift of love, then open your heart to Jesus today, that He may full you with His perfect gift of love. Allow Jesus to flow into you and to flow through you, that all around you would come to know and feel the perfect love that has welled up inside of you. Share the perfect gift that Jesus has given to you. Show your love to others who do not have that love, and allow them to benefit from the living waters of love inside of you.
