compelled by LOVE

I just finished reading Heidi Baker's book Compelled by LOVE. It is a must read for every human being. I just want to go find dirty hungry orphans and hold them and love them and feed them. I want to be so full of Jesus that they see His love in my eyes. I want to exemplify a sermon on the mount life. Lord, help me lay down my life for love. Let everyone encounter You when they encounter me. It is so simple to imagine going to Africa and seeing the poor and destitute and giving your life for them...but what about your neighbor? What about the guy that just cut you off in the line at Walmart? Jesus, I need your eyes. Help me to see everyone through your blood. We cry out for discernment and so often we ask expecting to see the enemy. I can see him everywhere I need no assistance with that. I want to see how the Father sees. I want that level of discernment. I want every action, every deed to be motivated by love. I want to see the person who persecutes me and love them. If someone spits in my face I want to love them. I want to love. So much of the body of Christ wants to move in signs, wonders and miracles but how much more miraculous to manifest the love of the True and Living God. The glory of the Lord is the goodness of the Lord. It is a manifestation of power, the power of LOVE. It is the tangible goodness of the Father made reality on earth. I must go lower. I must learn to love. God is love. If I seek Him and to be Him to a hurt and dying world then maybe I will know Him. Then maybe my works will not be burned up as hay and straw and stubble. If my actions are not out of love then they are only selfish ambition.
