love loud

I was thinking that the most powerful thing that God ever did was allow His words to become flesh. To allow His truth to be manifest through His Son. This grips me. Jesus said the Kingdom of heaven was near, and I really believe, this is my hunch, that to encounter Jesus is to encounter the reality of heaven. These thoughts prompt me to seek God for wisdom about how to take these words swirling, swirling around and allow them to be manifest in my flesh. How do I begin to speak louder of the kingdom of God through my flesh and not just my mouth? And as I ponder this, I’m thinking that the key to this is love. To truly manifest the kingdom is to truly manifest His love in my life. It is my oil.
Words will fade, prophecies will fade, tongues will fade, but love remains, and it is the greatest gift. Why have I not sought after it? Why have I thought it was a lesser, a background gift? It is a weapon, He was right. Perfect love casts out all fear - not words of wisdom, not gifts of healing, not demon cast-ing-outing…perfect love. That’s so powerful to me. I think I’d rather walk in few words and loud love.
