Just a Monkey Clanging a Can.

We have all heard it said, "Jesus did everything in love." And obviously this statement is quite true. At all times, in everything, He operated in love. And this should reign true for us also. No matter what we do, even good actions, if not done out of love they MEAN NOTHING, your just a monkey clanging a can. Making all this noise for no purpose. Even when Jesus was yelling and turning over tables His heart was overflowing in Love. In Philippians it talks about how love grows in knowledge and understanding. Love operates in discernment and understanding.

Love knows when to speak.

Love knows when not to say anything.

Love knows when to discipline.

Love knows when to have grace.

Love knows when to rebuke.

Love knows when to encourage.

Love knows when to listen.

Love knows when to instruct.

Love knows when to move.

Love knows when to sit still.

Love knows when to yell.

Love knows when to whisper.

Love knows how to empathize.

Love knows how to speak the hard truths.

Without love we are nothing. We can't help people if love doesn't guide our choices. I pray that today you go on a search for love and learn how to love at all times. In everything, even when you are at your wits end, you need to operate in love.
