The Unspoken Language Of God Series

-there was a Greek writer named Lucian who lived in the second century, just a few years after the last apostle John died. He was not a Christian, but he wrote this. "It is incredible to see the fervor with which the people of that religion help each other in their wants. They spare nothing. Their first legislator (Jesus) has put it into their heads that they are brothren."

-what spread the gospel was the love that the first Christians had for each other. Love that we need to have for each other. It is the way God speaks, it is how He speaks to us and how he speaks to others through us.

-I don’t know where you are with God or what you think of Him, but I know this, everyone can have an experience like Teresa of Avila. Everyone can hear the stories and lead a hollow life of just doing the religious routine. But they can also have that moment where they realize what the stories really mean, how everything in history that God has done has been in love for us and the single greatest act of that love was on a cross two thousand years ago.

-and once we recognize that, once we see how valuable God’s love is we want nothing more than to chase it and get as much of Him as possible. And once that happens, it will be impossible to contain Him inside you and his love will just spill out to everyone around us, and the cycle begins again with them.

-so as we close in prayer today, take time to think and pray about God’s love. What does it really mean. How can we get more of God and how can we give more of God?
