The (SUPER) Power of LOVE

Ephesians 3:19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

If I ever had a crush on a SuperHero it was Wonder Woman.  She was not only beautiful to look at, she was a woman that in the comic book realm was just everything.  She was super smart, gifted in hand to hand combat, very strong, had religious convictions and lived her life on principles based off of her spirituality.   So much so here's a quote regarding her very character: 

" However, though well-versed in—and seemingly designed for—the art of warfare, Wonder Woman is, in truth, a pacifist who utilizes these gifts as a means to bring humanity a message of peace and hope " 

  Who else does that sound like......JESUS.  He was the ULTIMATE WARRIOR but a pacifist who utilized the POWER OF LOVE to sacrifice His very life to bring the message of peace & hope to the lost.    Paul even mentions (in 1Corinthians 13) that while we may be gifted in many arenas....if we don't have LOVE we have noting.  You know you are filled with such power, when you are able to LOVE YOUR ENEMIES and DO GOOD to THEM THAT CURSE YOU (LUKE 6:26-28). 

So my challenge for you today (SUPER) friends is to pray that it is THIS LOVE that fills you today so that you may reflect the peace and hope that CHRIST your savior offers to a dying world.  Do without fear and according to 2 Timothy 1:7  For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.  NOW IN HIS POWER GO!  LGLP
