Be Careful!!!! The Love of Many Will Run Out! Love is like oil in our lamps! Oh, Lord! That you wouldn’t let our hearts dry up! Oh Lord, don’t let love run dry!
It’s the only thing that lasts forever. Agape love. We fool ourselves with people, places, jobs, ministries, etc that cause us to lose Him! That causes us to lose Love Himself!
I hope you hear the cry of heaven. Let your heart be vulnerable again!

“Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.”
Proverbs 4:23 NKJV
“There will be so much more evil in the world that the love of most believers will grow cold.”
Matthew 24:12 ERV
“I may have the gift of prophecy, I may understand all secrets and know everything there is to know, and I may have faith so great that I can move mountains. But even with all this, if I don’t have love, I am nothing. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not selfish, and it cannot be made angry easily. Love does not remember wrongs done against it. Love is never happy when others do wrong, but it is always happy with the truth. Love never gives up on people. It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits. Love will never end. But all those gifts will come to an end—even the gift of prophecy, the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages, and the gift of knowledge.”
1 Corinthians 13:2, 4-8 ERV
Here are a few things that will help!
1. A heart of love keeps taking chances on people & God. We are not called to honor pain over His love.
2. True agape love fulfills & strengthens you.
3. Fearful hearts don’t let love be birthed in themselves. Fear is a promise of safety but it robs your life!
4. Be like a child! Love forever. Yes, create healthy boundaries but let His inspirational love out.
“and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 18:3 NKJV
Yes!!! Pain will come but it’s not a reason to dry up His love.
5. He gives us love in our hearts (Romans 5:5)but it’s our job to tend to our hearts so love can always be found. (Proverbs 4:2☝)
6. Remember, our war is after your heart, not your stuff. Faith comes by love (Galatians 5:6) so don’t let your affections be set on things temporarily. We are in a war. The system is broken. Casualties hurt but the pain won’t go as deep when you know this deep down. This world isn’t our reward so we let things go.
7. We love because He first loved us. He never gave up on us. He was shamed for us. He keeps on taking chances even after sending His Son, even after finding you, He still takes chances. Let’s follow His example.
“We love Him because He first loved us.”
I John 4:19 NKJV
Keeping shape and love is everything! No matter what else we do, let love be found in your hearts when He comes back!
Love you guys!
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.”
I Corinthians 13:1-3 NKJV
