Love Builds Up

God is a builder. Even in the broken world, we live in He is building His church. The method He uses to build is love. It is His nature and He gives us the wonderful privilege of sharing His love. When we do it builds lives, bonds us together, and blesses those that experience it.

We must be careful when building because there are many things that can divide us from others and break down what was built. A simple disagreement over an opinion can cause bitter fighting. Even an internal thought that we know better than someone else can elevate our pride and separate us from people.

Thankfully God has given us a power that brings us together and builds us up again; love! Where things have been broken we can build again by getting back to the beginning. His love doesn’t divide us, it unites us. When we operate in His love it builds bonds that cannot be broken and make us stronger together than we ever could have been apart.

Show God’s love every way you can to as many as you can through your words and deeds. Bless and build lives through the power of love. Ultimately you will be building alongside God in building His church!

Point of Action:

Look for opportunities to express love and build others up. Recognize any people you have been divided from and seek the Lord for His wisdom. Ask God how He wants you to show love and then follow the directions He gives.
