We are called to love the way He loves with the loves He gives.

Ephesians 5:1-2 TPTBe imitators of God in everything you do, for then you will represent your Father as his beloved sons and daughters. 2And continue to walk surrendered to the extravagant love of Christ, for he surrendered his life as a sacrifice for us. His great love for us was pleasing to God, like an aroma of adoration—a sweet healing fragrance.

Yesterday, I shared a message on loving the way God loves. God loves with unlimitless love. In order to love the way God loves, we must have the love of God in us--so it can flow out of us. I used a pitcher of water to illustrate God's love. Then, I used a cup to represent us, and a cup to represent others. When you pour water from the pitcher into the cup, and then, into the next cup it is effortless. There is also, residue in the cup that poured it's contents into the second cup. This is the way it is with the love of God. He is the pitcher, and He pours His love into us; the first cup. Then, we pour that same love into the second cup. We, (the first cup) still have the residue of the love (the water) in us. We never run dry, as long as we keep getting filled with the love of God and then keep pouring into other vessels.

In my message from yesterday, I used another illustration of taking the person on your right's wallet; opening the wallet and taking whatever you need, to give to the person on your left, to meet their need. This is a picture of us going to Daddy God and taking what we need from His limitless wallet, (resources) and letting it flow through us to others in need. It cost us nothing but trust and obedience and then, an intimate relationship with Him. We can't reach into someone's wallet that we have no relationship--that would be stealing. But, when we are in an intimate relationship with someone, they would gladly allow us to take their wallet to meet a need of others and or ourselves. 

Living water (Hebrew: מַֽיִם־חַיִּ֖ים‎ mayim-ḥayyîm; Greek: ὕδωρ ζῶν, hydōr zōn) is a biblical term which appears in both the Old and New Testaments. In Jeremiah 2:13 and 17:13, the prophet describes God as "the spring of living water", who has been forsaken by his chosen people Israel. As a nation we may be forsaken of God, but God has always had a remnant and His remnant, is praying and fasting and seeking His face. We are crying out for mercy. God hears our cry and He will answer our prayers (Matthew 7:7-8) Here is a link about water and dreams;  http://globe-views.com/dreams/water.html This is just an article not the Word of God.

Below is the service from Sunday on "We are called to love the way He loves with the loves He gives." I hope you enjoy the word because the Word of God empowers us to live a life that brings Glory to God and to transform us into His presence.

ACTION STEP: ​Pour yourself out. Get filled with the love of God. God’s love has no favorite and no condition. It is radical and sacrificial.

It is not just loving others above self, but loving others beyond self.

• It is unconditional. But how can this be possible?
• It is possible because God has made us partakers of His divine nature.

(2 Pet 1:4 TPT) "As a result of this, he has given you magnificent promises that are beyond all price, so that through the power of these tremendous promises you can experience partnership with the (His) divine nature, by which you have escaped the corrupt desires that are of the world."

We are not of this world. We are sojourners. We are just passing through. While we are here we are to work the works of Him who sent us. We are to re-present Him. We are His ambassadors. While here we are about His business and He is about ours. Fear nothing! Have faith in God! Until tomorrow continue to be who God has called you to be! Be a lover of God's people--our brothers and sisters.
