Unconditional Love


WOWgroup Global Fellowships NJ/NY joined together for a wonderful Valentine's celebration. Today's Sunday celebration was started with a motivational clip called 39 Pounds of Love. If you would like to view this clip

Too many times we are like Ami Ankilewitz deformed not in a physical way, but spiritually. The word deformity according to the Free Dictionary Website means the following: an affliction in which some part of the body is misshapen or malformed. We have become or allowed ourselves to become disconnected from the love of God.

Bible Scriptures: 1 John 4:7; Mark 12:30-31

"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; and he who loves (his fellowmen) is begotten (born) of God and is coming (progressively) to know and understand God (to perceive and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him)". 1 John:4:7

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." Mark 12:30-31

Today's focus was on God's Greatest Commandment Mark 12:30-31.

  • God wants our heart, which is our affection. God wants us to show Him affection in creative ways.
  • God wants our souls, which is our spirit, our conscience, it is what makes us alive. The soul is our personality and it is our identity. The soul is responsible for making choices and decisions. When we make decisions it determines our lifestyle and behaviors.
  • God wants our mind, which is our brain. The brain is the part that thinks things through. Our mind stores our thoughts, information, emotions and helps us make logical conclusions. We cannot have our souls believe in God, but our minds doubt God. This is a deformity.
  • God wants our strength, which is our will, our desire and commitment. God has created each one of us to be our own individual unique self. We were not created to be robots. Each person has been designed and handcrafted by God for a purpose and a destiny. That purpose is so that we can come together and become one and do His will here on earth. The problem is that many of us struggle with this idea of releasing our will and desires to God. We want to have all the control and only when we can't do it ourselves do we seek or allow God to intervene. Again this selfish act causes the body to be disfigured and causes a disconnection.
