so...this is love

So...this is love.
Feel the music sweep you off your feet and let yourself twirl around. This is not a fairy tale. This is real. This is love.

I'm sitting and looking out the window. I see palm trees standing tall with their huge leaves whipping around with  the breeze from the ocean. The grass is green. The leaves are green. The plants are green with burst of colored flowers. And the ocean is blue. The ocean.
So...this is love.

The ocean. Is huge. As far as I can see- I see the ocean. The blue ocean. If I were to jump into it, I would see thousands of animals. Hundreds of thousands. There are animals we don't even know about mile under the ocean. Isn't that beautiful?

As far as the ocean is...so is God's love. As deep as the ocean is...so is God's love. His love is further and deeper than the ocean.
So...this is love.

I take my gaze off of the view outside and look around inside the the room. God's children are worshiping Him. They sing and cry and shout. Some kneal; some sit; some stand; some dance. Voices raised singing, "Baptize us with the Holy Spirit. Baptize us with fire."
So...this is love.

This is a new generation rising up against the negative influence that the world has taught them. They live a new life imursed in love and grace. The old laws and chains that held them have been cut off. They worship the God who has freed them and given them life. They worship because He loves them. They love Him.
So...this is love.

They have entered into the circle dance of God- joining with millions around the world. Living a life of love. Living in the relationship with God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, and all others who love Him.

Dance. Twirl and swirl around. God, the creator of the ocean and its creatures and also of every person, absolutely loves you. Dance. God, the son and savior gave up His very life sot hat you could experience the fullness of love, absolutely loves you. Dance. God, the Spirit that moves and breaths life into and comforts and counsels your soul when you are weary, absolutely loves you.

Dance- This is love.

"There is no one like you. You are Holy, Holy, Holy." They sing with the angels in heaven. They sing with all creation.
This is love.

Love is not a list of rules and laws. It's not a "don't do this. don't do that." It's not going to condemn you or make you feel ashamed. It does not hurt you. It doesn't force you to do something. This is not love.

Love is beautiful. Love is watching a grown man cry. Love is dancing. Love is simply living and following Jesus.
So...this is love.

Will you please come and dance with us?
