Love & Faith~ by C D Swanson

 

 

 

John 6:50-71 – This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

We eat that we’ll  live forever…and never perish.  The food that sustains our body for nourishment, comes from the Father. Think about it for a moment. The food that we eat each day comes from the Father. Sure, we go out and buy it, or harvest it…but who owns it?  God  of course.  For everything which is created was created by the Father. .(All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was  made.John 1:3 KJV)

Thereto the same theory in the Spirtual sense. Father provides the “Bread” for us to eat daily. The daily consumption of partaking in His Word and digesting the meaning of the Father’s ways is what keeps us “ALIVE”  Amen.

Surely Christ embodies love and is of love from His Father…and we are created in love. Love and faith go together.  Think about it.  We can’t do one without the other. I heard a pastor make a prolific statement that resonated within my soul. He said, “Love is the motivator, but Faith is in the initiator.” When we believe and absorb His daily bread, we acclimate and assimilate into producing the fruit…and  then love will be a part of our daily lives.

The Spiritual Bread is from the Father, it nourishes our marrow and provides for our needs in all capacities.  He is the cultivator of origin and knew us before we were born.  He knows our hearts, He knows our names.  He is our provider and our refuge. He is love…We love Him and  yet…we haven’t seen Him.  We know that He exists because we have Faith. Faith and love go hand-in-hand.  One can’t exist without the other.

Eat of His bread daily. The Bible is our guide and our love letter from the Father. It is our “rule book” it is a way of life so that we live victoriously through Christ. Everything you need to know about life is in the “book.” One of the best books written of all time! Amen. I personally can’t get enough. The more I read, the more I want. The more I want, the more is revealed.

The word is pregnant.  It keeps growing and gives birth to new revelations each time it’s read. But, again… we can’t do it without faith…and through faith comes love.

Love= motivating factor   Faith = initiating factor.  Together…a dynamic and overwhelmingly exciting factor.

Love & Faith…it doesn’t get much better than that.

God Bless~
