– 13; I Peter 4: 8; Matthew 5: 21-24
There is nothing we can do to make God love us more and there is
nothing we can do that would make Him love us less. His love is based
on who He is within himself, not on our performance.
He is consistent and faithful in how He loves us. His love is never on the
negotiating table, even when we are walking through times of struggle
and growth with Him. How can we be anything less for each other?
His love enables us to be true to one another when we have difficulties.
Keeping His way of loving in the forefront of our minds in times of
complexity helps us to be true to God in the way that we hold on to
one another.
• Love means being patient and expressing kindness.
• Love does not remember slights, hold grudges, or recall bad history.
• Love is unselfish and thoughtful.
• Loving people bear all things well and believe the best of others.
• Truly forgiving and releasing is the hallmark of God's love in us.
• Love is not easily angered and it doesn’t seek vengeance.
• Love never fails.
• Love is an action not just a word.
• Real love allows people to change.
How We Team: Regularly take time to think of someone where you
have not fully been the loving person Holy Spirit was expecting you to
be in a situation...and be reconciled! Work to upgrade your love with
the people around you.
Value: Non-negotiable love is being the best expression of Christ to
others. Putting love first and last in every situation keeps us abiding
in the Presence of God. Non-negotiable love can heal and seal every
problem that may occur in any relationship, team and situation.
