There you go!
Darkness,
religion, bitterness, anger, unforgiveness, blame, adultery, fornication, idolatry, etc... all these things seperate us from the LOVE of GOD. But if our hearts are truly filled with LOVE, God's LOVE 'cause our earthly love ain't worth beans, then He will help us get rid of all that junk in us. We focus on Loving Him, and the more we thank Him for Loving us and pour out our alabaster box on HIM, He takes away those things that weigh us down. He takes away our pain and hurt. If we do not LOVE GOD, then we are going to live a miserable life. Once we begin focusing on Loving our Creator, our Savior, our Healer, our Deliverer, our Lord and King, THEN we will be able to love one another and help those who are downtrodden.
So we remember
1 JOHN 4:8
He WHO DOES NOT LOVE does not know God, for God is LOVE.
