Better Godliness Through Love

We can honor God better by having faith in him and loving the things and people around us, and ourselves. This can be done in any way that you have faith honors him. I write this blog to make it easier to understand love, and easier to honor God through love.

What do we value? Things? Rest? Pleasure and avoiding pain? Entertainment? Love? Believing we are worthy of love? Believing we are helping others and pulling our own weight?

God values you no matter what you do. Anything that happens to you or that you do, you should still love God and have love for others.

A car accident could make us fear for our own lives, or the lives of others, or the law, or the money in our car or insurance, and these fears could cause us to curl into ourselves and withhold love. We view these things as important. Sometimes we believe we can teach people to behave differently by withholding or seeming to withhold love from another, to get them to be afraid to act that way again. This is fear training. It places the things you do above your being. It places things above love. This is wrong.

We should engage with others in the manner God intended, by social interaction, with our feelings, with our minds, with our hearts. Loving one another and helping one another achieve the goals we all have, and sharpening and refining these goals of love and expressing love we all share.

I love everything. My actions are all an expression of this love. My prayers are all asking pursuit of this love, and my thanks are all for this love. I teach others the way I understand loving behavior. I seek to learn better ways to love. Sometimes letting go of old ways to love is scary, but it is only scary because I do not want to be away from that love.
