THE MELODY OF MORE
Footsteps of all walks can be heard down the halls of want. Young, elderly, crippled, and
strong can all be seen rushing toward the doors of hope. The glimmer of longing in their eyes.
A path to pure joy, happiness, and complete fulfillment exists for each. To find one’s own feet
on its back you must first know love.
To find one’s own feet on the path to pure joy, happiness, and fulfillment, you must first know true love.
Straight and Eternally Narrow is The Path.
Unique are the notes of each walk; the melody of some is still untold and waiting to be sung.
Many want the blessings and rewards of the narrow path, yet they doubt its sincerity and turn to search endlessly for true love where it cannot be found.
The old longing for everlasting love lives at home in each heart of His creation.
“He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love.” 1 John 4:8 KJV
Caught up in one’s self-absorbed search, it’s easy to forget others need of love.
The eternal source of love can only be found in Love Himself. Once we recognize Love for who He truly is, our footsteps will be heard running down the halls of More, dancing down the streets of Joy, and continually walking in step with Love Himself.
Now we know Love for who He is….
“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.” 1 John 4:7 KJV
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ESV
Believe in love…
“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.”
1 John 4:16 KJV
To believe in God is to believe in love.
Unconditional love.
Perfected in love…
“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.”
1 John 4:17 KJV
We, as born-again believers, are perfected by love. We are commanded to provoke one another unto love and good works. While on earth, we are to press toward Perfect Love and eternal rewards.
Peace through love…
“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”
1 John 4:18 KJV
“How very little can be done under the spirit of fear” - Florence Nightingale
Fear is a treacherous spirit that torments us with thoughts of being rejected, unwanted, and unloved; It suppresses our aspirations, gifts, and emotions. Fear is a thief that breaks into the house of our hearts to steal our joy. It thwarts our love for others and causes us to neglect Love Himself.
Fear is suffocated by the hand of Love, for it has no place in the hearts of the recipients of His perfect love.
Match made in Heaven…
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”
Romans 8:35 KJV
We have the eternal hope and assurance of being loved and guided by Love Himself.
No earthly oppression will separate us. No realm shall hinder us. No one will ever be stopped from walking into the domain of His love.
“When He who gave humanity breath, who gave you breath, couldn't bear to heave one more searing breath, the only One who can ever dwell in human hearts, suffers an explosive heart-attack of love for you.” - Ann Voskamp
The more you've been looking for. The wants and desires. The true love you still search for.
More is Christ!
“And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.”
2 Thessalonians 3:5 KJV
“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”
Jude 1:21 KJV
The melody of “more” does not linger in the shadows of the past but lies ahead and is truly a match made in the realms of Heaven…
