Is this dangerous, or what?? Can a person just feel so much LOVE in his/her heart for everyone (even fundamentalists) that nothing can stop it?

Can we just LOVE people even if we don't agree with them? Even if they condemn us? Even if they cast us out as evil? Even if they tell us that we are going to hell??

Can it be that we can just LOVE people so freely?? YES! We can indeed know God's Love which passes understanding, and which soars above doctrines, creeds, denominations, race, religion, language, and any other thing which might "divide" us!

Praise God! Love is greater than faith. Love is Eternal!

Blessings,
brian

in a world where most people are spiritualy asleep,its probly best to love from a distance those who hate you,we can love them but it dosent mean we have to associate with them,it takes a bit of understanding,after all it would be hard to love somebody who is an out and out murderer,who dosent care about what they do or who they hurt,but if you understand that this person was not always evil,he was once love,/ you said it yourself,love is eternal(no-begining/no-end)/then you can understand that thisd person is only ignorant to his/her true nature,they are asleep spiritually.

in a perfect world,where harmony exists and everbody is awake,then loving each other becomes as natural as the wind,and is forever getting stronger!

Sometimes I feel I can love even the most "un-lovable" of them all! Somehow, I just "know" that they will be won over to Love/God when they finally see Him, and I'm happy for them! It becomes something that you want to pass on freely, no matter what the response!

And sometimes it's hard to describe..!

Blessings!

I totally hear you, Brian!
It's pretty miraculous. Sometimes it is very overwhelming like your being just cannot contain it. It's these glimpses of something so beautiful that your soul just cries inside because you can't fully express the love that has been put in your heart. Even people who have harmed my family, I find that I have love for them, because HE put that love in my heart and He showed me just how much HE LOVES US. EACH AND EVERYONE OF US.

Now, if I were to read your words 10 years ago... I wouldn't have quite understood..

I think it's seeing others through our Father's eyes. REALLY through His eyes, NOT through the eyes of mainstream churches. Not through their stained glass window eyes, but through the eyes of the Creator. The one that says HE IS LOVE. That is pretty radical, but did Jesus not become The Father's love for us, in the flesh? That dwelt among us? HIS radical love... "Father forgive them.." as they were in the process of murdering Him??

He sees us not only as we were, as we are, but as what we will become. He sees a beautiful finished product. Whereas we are confined to TIME, He is not. We may not see God in each other now, but we WILL.
We may still only see ADAM when we look at each other, but that is because our eyes are veiled. Our eyes are veiled until He sees that a person is ready to have that veil slowly removed. I know that my eyes were veiled for a very long time to this truth of His love for us.

LOVE. The power of God is overwhelming and unbelievable...
so many just don't quite yet see it, that's all.
But that is changing.

hallelujah.
May more eyes fly open to the power of His love.
His beautiful, and COMPLETE love for all of mankind.
The love that will transform each and every one of us.
We are family. All of us. And we're all on our own unique path in life, and each life lived will bring glory to God. Because with each life lived, HIS LOVE will overcome. THAT is the gospel. THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS.
That is the POWER of God.

Thank you for a beautiful and very uplifting thread, my brother.
peace,
sparrow

I often feel like this too Brian You seem like such a sincere, loving, sweet soul. I believe when you are filled up with God's Love this is how you are supposed to feel. When we are in unison with our Father. Perhaps that is why Jesus told us to focus on Loving God with all of our hearts.

Brian, you're dwelling in a very good place :-)

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God.
