Spreading GOD’s Love is Sharing His Truth (not our thoughts and beliefs)
If you think about that statement, you will realize (at least a little) how much weight it carries. It is more emotional, mental and spiritual heaviness than most people realize.
“Spreading GOD’s Love is sharing His Truth (not our thoughts and beliefs)” is the difference between serving (ministry) and opinion, the difference between witness and noise, and the difference between kingdom work and self‑expression.
This matters in our marriages as well.
It is a tough sell, when we try to look past the Bible for Love and Truth. They are never separated.
NOTE: Love without Truth becomes soppiness outside of GOD; and…
NOTE: Truth without Love becomes cruelty.
GOD’s Love is ALWAYS Truth filled; and that Truth is delivered with His tenderness, His character and ONLY in His impeccable timing. When we speak His Truth, we’re giving people something eternal.
However, on the O T H E R end of the spectrum for Love and Truth, we find ourselves speaking our opinions. That opinion is very fleeting, along with something temporary.
Sharing GOD’s Truth requires our surrender. Does it not?To share His truth, a person has to quiet their ego and ignore their preferences and interpretations. The fight would likely be for him or her to let Scripture speak for Itself. Oof!
Undoubtedly, this means to let (request) the Spirit lead, not emotion and personal perspective. Yeah?
Sharing GOD’s Truth requires us to back off — and calls for humility. …as for me, I don’t want to spread myself. I want to spread Him. In the Bible, this is the person GOD shows the reader, the very person He can trust.
When a person shares their own thoughts, stories and beliefs, people may be moved.
What happens when we share GOD’s Truth? People are transformed. His Truth carries His Power. Have you experienced this?
What do you see His Truth doing?
Here are some of the aftermaths of situations, people and relationships where the Truth of GOD has been allowed to lead and reign:
conviction
healing (all sorts—not just physical)
restoration
revelation
freedom (all sorts—not just spiritual)
awakening
NOTE: Our opinions CAN’T do that.
This next statement should come with the obvious insight… When you and I choose to share GOD’s Truth—instead of our own, we are not just communicating differently, we are learning to carry out His Mission for THAT person. We are obedient in that task and that has great significance. We are representing the non-cracked vessel who carries what is poured into it. We don’t change the contents; we don’t add flavor or dilute the stuff inside either. Guess what… We simply deliver. That’s what a servant does.
What part of GOD’s Truth is He asking you to carry right now? …not your interpretation, but His compassion? It is the same as He has always required of His trusted ones. Get the Truth out and love the people with It.
NOTE: That is MY assignment. It is “our” assignment, and it has been the same theme GOD has been weaving through me for years. …that is to “Get the Truth out and love the people with It.”
When the Lord Jesus gives a man a calling, that doesn’t change, it’s because that calling is rooted in His Own Nature, not in the man’s term, or dream.
The call of the Lord is for that person to carry His Truth, love His people (with His Way) and allow obedience to create space for His Spirit to work.
NOTE: You and are not being asked to invent anything. We are being asked to carry something. The Truth He’s asking us to carry is not new — It’s Ancient.
Can GOD entrust you with spiritual weight? Your obedience is the container. His Truth is the content.
