Let love lead.

Hello there.
How's life?
Today I want to tell you about leading in love.

I was listening to some music, on the radio and came across this song.

It has been on my heart, so I thought I'd let it be the theme, for my post.

In the bible, the bible is full of love, you might even be familiar with the love chapter.  In 1st Corinthians 13.

It is often read out in weddings.

What happens if we, lead by love by our own actions?

What can you do, in this lock down to lead by love?

As we go into level 3 of lock down, what can you do for others?
What can you do now to led by love?
Email your friends and tell them that you're thinking about them.
Perhaps plan now, when you come out of lock down, to see people that really mean a lot to you?

Ask for Godly advice, about things you're facing.

It might be life changing choices, courses in your study that you're not to sure about.
Moving out of home, is a big step for independence.

Are you moving out to study, at a different Uni, courses, or are you moving out, because  of control and anger?

When we don't lead by love, we lead by force, and control.

If we don't lead by love, how are we setting examples for others?

We live in fear, and we often confuse, fear and confusion with love.
Because what fear and confusion, does is it limits us, from leading in love.

We aren't scared by love, we are called to love all people. but if we live in a controlled iron rod type leadership, we can often see Jesus as that.

So we need something to encourage us, and we all need it.
We all need those friends in life, we can really have a heart to heart relationship  with. you don't need a heap of friends, or so called friends on Face book.
But you do need a few, studies show you only need 3 close friends, to depend on.

Not 124 Face Book frineds, that aren't really true friends.

So I've gone off my page, and having a fast from facebook.

And it has been so freeing.

So I encourage you to de activate your page.

And spend time writing letters to your grandmothers,  emailng friends, you might just get something back.

I was greatly encouraged with cleaning up my room, and I found a  thank you card from Tear fund, that one past girl I sponsor didn't need my money anymore.

I was greatly encouraged in my spirit, that I'm doing a good  thing.

And I encourage you to look into your spirit, come up with a list, or mind map, about the things that you love, about yourself, and what you've been doing.

See it might be breaking the cycle, for a child, it might just believe in them, that all it takes is a bit of spare money, money that the lord has blessed you with.
and you've written to them, you've clothed them, you've love them.
Then over the years you build such a beautiful way with them that the time comes, and they don't need to you anymore.

And to me, that is leading by love.

My challange is, what are you doing today that you can lead by love?
It might be putting the washing out, doing the supermarket shopping.
Or it might be something bigger than that, it God might have called you to do something with your life, that you'll never look back on.

So lead by love
Chloe
