“BEING A MORE LOVING PERSON”

1 John 4:7, 8, 21 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love... And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.

2 Misconceptions about love 1. LOVE IS A FEELING 2. LOVE IS UNCONTROLLABLE

2 Bible Truths about love 1. LOVE IS A CHOICE Colossians 3:14 May you always put on love which binds them altogether.

2 Bible Truths about love 1. LOVE IS A CHOICE Colossians 3:14 May you always put on love which binds them altogether. 2. LOVE IS A CONDUCT 1 John 3:18 Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and truths

5 TRUTHS TO TAKE ON BOARD

1. Experience God's love yourself. Ephesians 3:17,18 Living Bible I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts. Living within you as you trust Him. May your roots go deep into the soil of God's marvellous love and may you be able to feel and understand how long, wide, deep and high His love really is. And experience this love for yourself.

2. You forgive those who have hurt you Colossians 3:13 Forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. John 15:12 (NIV) My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

3. You think loving thoughts Philippians 2:4, 5 (NIV) “Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ…”

Truth - Those who deserve your love the least this next week are those who need it the most!

4. You must act in a loving way Truth - It is easier to act my way into a feeling than it is to feel my way into an action! Truth - It is easier to act my way into a feeling than it is to feel my way into an action! Luke 6:27,28 Jesus said, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you and pray for those who mistreat you.

WHAT TO DO WHEN PEOPLE HURT ME? 1. LOVE THEM 2. DO GOOD TO THOSE WHO HATE YOU

Truth – You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving.

3. BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE YOU 4. YOU PRAY FOR THOSE WHO MISTREAT YOU

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV) Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self- seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:7 (LIVING) If you love someone you will always believe in him and always expect the best from him. Revelation 2:4,5 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lamp stand from its place.

1. REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES… 2. REPENT - CHANGE YOUR MIND, YOUR THINKING… 3. DO THE THINGS YOU DID AT FIRST…

Truth - The grass is not greener on that side of the fence, the grass is not greener on this side of the fence, the grass is greener where you water it.

Truth - Love works if you work it! Prayerful RESPONSE Prayerful RESPONSE
