The Power of Love

Encouraging Words with Pastor Bruce & Suzi Elman

Believers are vessels for GOD’S love. His love flowing through us is a powerful force that enables us to do more than the unbeliever, who RELIES upon himself. The love that dwells in us is described perfectly in our verse of the day!

1 Corinthians 13:4
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud…”

First, “love is patient,” and with GOD’S Spirit living within us, we are empowered to wait upon His timing and purpose so we can be patient with others, knowing GOD is working on their behalf. 

“Love is kind,“ and with GOD’S love, we have the capacity to be genuinely kind, regardless of how others may treat us.

Love is not jealous or envious. Jealousy is a fear of losing someone. GOD’S love gives us the security to hold relationships more loosely.

“Love does not brag, is not arrogant.” We understand our value in GOD’S eyes, and there is no need to be arrogant!

GOD’S love is powerful! When we allow His caring Spirit to flow through us, we can have a profound effect upon our world!

Love & Blessings,

Vessels of Love

Encouraging Words with Pastor Bruce & Suzi Elman

We learn of the unconditional love our Creator has for us. That amazing love flows TO us and then it should flow THROUGH us to others. GOD’S perfect love is brought to completion when we learn to love one another.

This love was given to us freely through MESSIAH YESHUA, and we can do nothing to earn it or secure it. 

As we receive this love, we are to turn around and give it back to ABBA. We do that by worshipping Him with our life, spending time in His presence, studying His Word, praying and praising Him for His mercy and grace that He pours out upon us. 

That love perfected in you should flow through you to those around you so this will complete the cycle! 

1 John 4:12
“No one has seen God at any time. But if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.”

We are to be vessels of GOD’S love in our sphere of influence! Who among you needs to feel GOD’S love today?

Love & Blessings,
