LOVE PART THREE

Apparently this topic will take four parts instead of three as before described however to God be the glory for all things and His name must be exalted all the time, because God is selfless and love is who He is.

Before we were converted in mind, and a conversion in mind will show outwardly by behaviour and conduct in attitude and every day life, we had a warp idea and expression of love, we expressed love based on how we were taught by our parents and they gave to us what they knew, but our parents way and the teachings received in many instances were wrong.

When the truth comes knowledge is increased with wisdom and understanding and we ought to grab hold of the truth if we wish to be elevated in mind and become better persons, so many things we have learnt we will have to unlearn, and to many who want to remain in their comfort zone change and acceptance of truth is hard, because deep down they do not really want change.

A few points I learned and implemented while studying this topic of Love and I shall share them with you.

Learn how to tell others of their shortcomings in a positive way to redeem them. We must learn to look for the good in others.

Learn to tell people when we hurt by words spoken to us in a harsh, degrading manner.

Learn to speak about our feelings with the intention of seeking help or spreading joy or giving information which will be used in a positive manner.

Do not be ashamed of your situation.

Do not feel so independent that you do not want to ask for help, or share your thoughts and feelings. Independence is sin.

Learn not to volunteer information to people when it is not needed.

Before you give information, think of the information being given and how it may benefit or distress the individual.

Seek to be happy when you are happy, you will also seek to make others happy.

If one does not trust himself, he will not trust others so there will always be a barrier of communication.

Learn to trust so you can communicate.

Learn to uplift others and commend them.

Learn not to speak words of regret, hate, hurt, anger, or condemnation.

I will like us to look at ANGER, because anger stems from regret, feeling unfulfilled, feeling unnoticed, hurtful words, hate, condemnation, feeling as though you have no purpose, and lack of confidence and understanding.
Anger is an emotion which is in every creature of God, what the enemy has done is give us a bad training in the way we deal with anger, by not understanding how to dispense and control anger many persons will continue to have huge problems and these shall increase.

Here is what the Spirit of God taught me while doing this study.

Find the root of your anger, see if it is some past hurt or problem you have never dealt with.

Finding the root of your anger will help you deal with it.

Accept the fact that you are angry.

Do not make excuse for the anger.

Do not keep the anger bottled up and say nothing is wrong.

Direct the anger to the correct source.

Do not unleash your anger on unsuspecting persons.

Find ways to deal with your anger and eradicate it from your life.

In the next and final part of this topic on love we shall look at what causes people to be angry.
until next time may God bless you and remember Character is from within and can never be covered for long, as the true you will always surface unexpectedly so make sure that the character you show is you.
