NURTURE THE SPIRIT OF LOVE

By Tayo Onaleye Unforgiveness is a spirit. Love is a spirit. The one you nurture dominates. What comes out of an orange when squeezed reveals the content of the orange. What comes out of you during crisis is a revelation of the content of your spirit. The crisis only squeezed it out. If bitterness flows out of you when offended it's only a revelation that there's bitterness in your spirit. The offence merely squeezed it out. On the cross, in the pain and anguish of death, what came out of Jesus was, "Father forgive them" Luke 23.34 Bitterness couldn't come out of Jesus because it wasn't in Him. He was being stoned to death and yet what came out of Stephen was, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge" Acts 7.36 Like Jesus, what flowed out of the spirit of Stephen was forgiveness even in the face of death. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Take time to cultivate the spirit of love. One day at a time.
