Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     God's love always flows from choice.
     Some believers are under the mistaken impression that when they encounter the unlovely, there ought to be some intergalactic wave that hits them and they should be immediately overwhelmed by irresistible love for the person whom they otherwise would find revolting.
     I don't find that anywhere in God's Word!
     In fact, we are taught that it takes the putting aside of self to really love.
     Yes, it is supernatural, but at the same time, the flow stems from obedience and nothing else.
      The Soldier of the Cross who makes himself available in prayer will experience the release that love provides, so that he can obey the Lord.
     Love is a behavior.
     Love is a chosen attitude.
     Love follows hard after the example set for us by the One Who gave His life as a Ransom for Many.
     Love is available because of the Blood and must be chosen.
