Labors of Love
1 Thessalonians 1:3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,
This is an interesting term, "labor of love". This love spoken of is the Greek word Agape, Gods unconditional love. When we spend time with Jesus, led by the Holy Spirit, we walk as He walks and talk as He talks and love as He loves. The super spiritual Christians say, oh that isn't a labor of love at all! Well, I will not argue with them but I will say, its not natural to me and I have to work on expressing Gods love. I want revenge or I desire paybacks from those who wrong me. Yet thats not what I find in Christs' flawless love shown to me. I can tell you what it isn't very easy. I have worked overtime in what love is not yet I also have worked hard to seek to be led by the Spirit and not the flesh more so. Now, this labor of love is not burdensome whatsoever. It actually is satisfying. There is a work Jesus told men to do, believe & act upon the work of God in that receive and trust what Jesus has done for you on the cross.
Look, I have not perfected this labor of love but I am still laboring in it. The benefits are out of this world. I will be rewarded at His appearing soon. I cant wait.
