Love one another with brotherly affection [as members of one family], giving precedence and showing honor to one another.
Romans 12:10, AMPC
I want to be a person who loves well. I want others to know me as a person who is safe, relatable, authentic, yet firm in sharing the truth when they ask for it. I want to be a really, truly, good friend. I want to love others with the same love that God gives me–unconditional, never-ending, unstoppable, agape love.
At first glance, of course, this seems totally impossible! How can an imperfect person, such as myself, ever be capable of the kind of love that only comes from the Source of love, life, and everything good? God IS love, and if I want to be able to love others with that love, I have to receive it first from Him. And so we learn to love by receiving love first.
This podcast begins where Episode 5 leaves off–we are finishing up the conversation with Aaron and Sally Eggman about “How to truly love others,” and how God wired us for relationship. God never intended for us to live in a vacuum. He wired us from the very beginning for relationship with Him and other people. “It is not good for man to be alone,” God said, even when Adam had perfect communion with God in the Garden of Eden.
It is so important that we learn and develop in this area! We must learn how to do relationships well, because God is unifying His Church in these last of the last days for the final Great Awakening, and His revival/awakening wineskin looks like relationship!
As we learn to love each other well, we will grow in unity and bring God’s purposes to fulfillment on the earth. I am so excited for you to listen and be challenged to take your capacity and intentionality in relationships to a new level!
Enjoy the podcast!
