OH!! My Brothers and sisters!! This has taken me such a long time to learn!! and!! still Learning!! We know what the Word says love is.1 Cor 13:4-7 And we have heard much on reasons we are to love,so we do know what love is,but to walk in it?? Oh Dear! This is far from easy,as so many things and reasons in our mind can happen not to love! I am going to make this a simple as possible to learn,it is how I am learning as well,and so far, it is working out much better then I could have ever thought it would! First,if you are a believer,we see many examples from our Jesus in love, one taken from Matt 9:36-38 What the Holy Spirit is teaching is this,the road of love is the same narrow road few ever find!notice please this Matt5:43-48,then notice after this what is next?? yep giving, not just of money!! BUT of your time! then notice next prayer! For prayer is the oil to are armor needed daily to keep us protected in our hearts,and in our minds ( eph 6) Treat and!! Talk!! to others as you would have them do unto you! It is really that simple!! Of course in order to do these things,we must always have this as well!! we must be willing to forgive,others who hurt us! Matt 18:21-35!! IF you are doing this,then you are on the narrow road( matt 7:13) Why is this road so narrow?? Because it is so easy to get off the path of it!! As we all know!! it does not take very much!! Here is one example just this morning for me!! I woke up, we needed to go to the store right away,so I got dressed snow was coming down roads were a mess,I am not a big talker when I wake up!! LOL My brother and I steped outside, there was a man,standing by his car, " hi he said,gee I need a jump, my car will not start,I just kept walking as my brother told him, we have to go somewhere!!As I got into the car and pulled out, I thought wow!! What kind of an example am I!!! I looked for the man,but he was gone! As we came back someone was nice enough to give the man a jump for his car.I missed a great oppertinuity to witness simply because I!!! was not awake yet!! I did not want to be bothered this early in the morning!! I!!! stepped off the narrow road!! and I!!! repented!! By this example this morning my brothers and sisters you have seen just how easy it is to step off the narrow road of love,love does not have a certain kind of face!! It is the power and face of Jesus through us that is shown, remember as I did this morning!! we are to be the light!! I forgot, because I was so selfish to myself!! So I am learning still!! I will always be learning,but from this we have seen an example of how easy it can be for us, to go off the narrow road of love!! Something as you all know I preach often here! To be honest! There is NO EXCUSE!! NOT!! to LOVE! So I for one am not making any!! I was wrong!! I confess this before you,because no matter who we think we are in Jesus!! WE!! I!!!! can always learn! Love is also spoken,it delivers kindness and grace to all we come in contact to.Even in the Book Of Revelation, you will notice 2 things beside a rebuke!! Grace and peace to the seven Churches,this comes from love,for as we have love,we have both grace and peace!! Blessing to you all,and this messege to all who read this!! 1 Cor 1:4-9!! thanks to all of you!!
 
A good article and a great subject thanks BrightHouse! A little love goes a long way!

Walking in love is manifesting the very nature of Christ to a lost world. Love is one of the Nine fruits of the Spirit and is fully manifest as we walk in the Spirit (in total submission to, at the leading of and only in the power of the Holy Spirit). Let us abide in God's Holy Vine that His very life may flow through us.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
 
I believe Jesus is our greatest example when it comes to walking in love.
He showed us the agape love which is unconditionally.
God's word tells us to love not only in word but in deed.
Love is an action word.
God's love was demonstrated in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

I couldn't agree more! Jesus was our perfect example and He did only what He saw the Father doing, spoke only what He heard the Father saying and all those only in the power of the Holy Spirit! In this He was a perfect picture of the Father's heart to all men.
 
AMEN!! to Both Boanerges!! and Sweetlygrowing!! Thanks for both of your LOVE through our Jesus!
