I spoke last post about being free. Let me explain what true freedom is.

FIRST thing God did was show me the power of choice. I am not a product of my enviroment, but a product of my choices. That’s why I can look at the injustices of the world and know I can overcome all that.

That’s why I can look at black people as a whole and call what amounts to excuses to live down as just that, excuses. You might not like it, I’m not asking you to like it. Doesn’t make it any less true.

Second thing God taught me, there are really only TWO choices you can make on a daily basis. One of fear and one of love. Those are the true measuring sticks of life. What is the foundaitonal reason for doing this or that? Is it born of love or is it born of fear.

Third thing God taught me is love. What is it? What is it made of? What is the substance of it? Boil it all down to this one simple thing. Love is a verb. Sure, we relegate it to some low space on the emotional spectrum, but it’s more than that. LOVE IS A VERB. That is, if you want to put it in the human space. It’s a verb.

Definition of verb: a word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence, and forming the main part of the predicate of a sentence, such as hear, become, happen.

You can tell if a person TRULY loves you by their actions. Are they consistently in a loving state? Do they help build, or form, a loving enviroment around you?

Then God goes and tells us what make up those loving actions.

You see, someone may say that they don’t want anything to do with the Bible or God because of any numerous amount of reasons that have something to do with the Bible (trust me, no one ever points out how God leaves them to have their own free will to choose, but then again, how do you convince someone they’re usually always choosing their own destruction)

When, let’s be honest about it for a second, the Bible is a book full of instructions on HOW TO LOVE!!!

The biggest showing of love being that of sacrifice without expectation. I mean, how often do we speak on Christ dying for us, according to God’s Will. That is was God’s love for us that demanded this payment, but God’s love also demands we freely choose Him. Because love isn’t FORCED. It’s a choice.
