Life is all about love. Because God is love the most important lesson He wants us to learn on earth is how to love. It is in loving we are most like Him. Love is the foundation of every command, even Spiritual Gifts.

In Romans 12 after Paul list some of the gifts and how we must allow others to use their gifts; he lists how to love others.

Love...

1. must be sincere.
2. devotes yourself to each other.
3. honors one another.
4. is joyful
5. is patient
6. faithfully lifts each other up in prayer.
7. shares with others
8. is hospitable  
9. blesses others, especially those who persecute you.
10. lives in harmony with each other.
11. puts others first.
12. does not take revenge.
    
     

For God’s kingdom to shine in this world and effectively use their gifts to win the lost we MUST love. Love means yielding you preferences, comforts, goals, securities, money, energy, time for the benefit of someone else. How do we love? By staying connected to God!

Personal Note: We put an offer on a house and last week the offer was accepted. After much time in prayer and seeking God we feel that God has asked us to plant our feet in GA and continue on working out of the Gainesville office in the FYM ministry. God has placed a passion on our hearts for the college students who want to give up a year to be discipled and reach out to a lost world. Currently we have 9 locations all around the world for kids to minister in. God continues to open up new doors for the FYM ministry and continues to pour His blessing upon it. We could not be happier serving God in this way.
