11:50: “They will know you by your Love.

“No matter the gifts I give you, My People, even the gift of healing, or prophecy, or wisdom, or tongues – none of these are as important as Love. You read this in My Word as Paul wrote it. Read it with your heart. My Love – the Love I have called you to also carry – transcends all. Love took Me to the cross for you. Love brought Me back to Life. Love healed the diseases and ailments of many. Love multiplied food for the crowds. Love patiently taught My disciples. Love patiently teaches you. Love will fill you with strength when all else fails. Love will bring in My harvest. Love serves. Love prays for others, Love stands against sin and longs to praise and follow Me.

“Love is your path to eternity.

“Love is not cynical, does not unjustly judge, never elevates oneself. My Love is Perfection. Is your highest calling. Your greatest GIFT and attainment.

“You cannot please Me without Love.

“I say again – you cannot please Me without Love. LISTEN to this meaning. GRASP it. Anything you do, no matter how great the deed, is not pleasing to Me if it does not spring from Love for Me and for others. Measure EVERY deed you do by the greatness of the Love behind it. Even the washing of a dish, the watering of a plant. Did my provision give you the dish – and the food that left it dirty? Is the plant not of My creation? ALL good things come from Me – because of My Love for you. Care for all I have given you out of Love and a grateful heart toward Me.

“Most of all, Love other people. Can you find one I did not die for? One I have not Loved with My very Life?

“Love leaves NO ROOM for pride. Love looks always to Me – the giver and creator of Love. I AM Love. True Love. Godly, holy, Love. Godly, perfect Love always leads back to Me. THIS is why you must Love. Love seeks Me. Love comes to Me. Love surrenders to Me – and calls others to do the same. Love forgives. Love drives out fear. Love brings faith.

“Love accepts Me and yearns for Me – for I AM the origin and fulfillment of Love.

“Seek Me in all things. Ask Me for My spiritual gifts – designed for you to serve others. Most of all, ask Me to fill you with My Love. Seek this night and day. When you seek Love, you seek ME.

“Amen.”

Notes:

In reading the words from the Lord given on the 15th of each month, I was surprised to see that one month ago, 2/15/25, God’s word was also on Love. (It’s interesting how I’ve began to see a pattern on the dates.) I encourage you to read and declare this word over your life as well. You can find it here: https://burningbrand.blog/2025/02/15/february-15-2025/

I Corinthians 13:1-8: If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

James 1:17: Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. 

I John 4:7-12:  Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
