Love is Patient/Kind

1 Cor. 13 says if I have not love, I'm nothing.
How much of the stuff that America's Christians are doing is "from love"?
"I sense much fear in [them]" ---YODA

My friends around the neighborhood wonder why the christians are so judgmental and pesky to the world around them who never asked to be held to their standards.
They also wonder why they ostracise their own, like chickens who always peck the speckled hen to death...

and i read this week that Love is patient and love is kind.

...that it's the kindness of God that leads us to repentance...

that the power of life and death are in the tongue.

I am seeing that the nations are waiting on us to love each other, in the John 17 unity that proves the identity of Jesus. This is world evangelism. to grow where we're planted. to reach down deep, into the living stream.

LOVE is all inthe Kingdom.
God is love.
if we don't love, we don't have God, no matter who we "reach".
"reach". Ha!
let's give up talk of "reaching" for the reality of Loving. 1 John 3:16-20
