Greed and selfishness are all around us but we don\u2019t have to participate we can be full of God\u2019s generosity because of His love. With commitments being broken in marriages, employments, friendships, partnerships, we can remain faithful because of God\u2019s love within us. People can be rough around the edges and hateful, offendable and in a rage but God\u2019s love will display his gentleness in the way we interact toward others, even, if they do not behave the same way. And last but not least, God\u2019s love helps us to practice his self-control so that we are a power-house under his control, anointed by him to serve and honor him. Self, has to die, because of the Love of God so that he can live, in us.<\/h6>\n<h6>It begins and ends with the love of God. His love in us gives us Holy Spirit power to live this life in obedience to the one who created all things. The one who came to earth, died and resurrected so that we could be renewed and live forever in Him and He in us!<\/h6>\n<h6>Let God\u2019s love rule our hearts and all the rest of God\u2019s attributes will manifest in every area of our lives.<\/h6>\n<h6>The fruit you want to be produced in you is Love.
