Watched The Love Letter Series by TD Jakes explaining what true love is. I must say that I enjoyed it. A lot of messages place emphasis on the death of Jesus dying for our sins as the ultimate form of love. Although as true as it is, it was good seeing a different perspective through the story of Philemon, Paul, and Onisemus. The conclusion of the message was that “love has no loopholes”. True love causes you to go over leaps and bounds no matter how angry you are at a person or how effed up the situation may be. && it got me thinking: What separates love from the feeling of obligation? You can care for someone with every fiber of your being and on the other hand you can just be looking out for them just because of the connection the two of you share (ie. family member, frat brother, line sister, co worker, etc.)  Is it genuineness?

As usual, I typically do my Thursday bible study. Left my notebook in the car so I guess I’ll share it tonight. Just a few notes from the above titled sermon by Paula White. You can always count on the Word. Feel free to YouTube it. Probably will do a follow up post about it later

Jeremiah 29:11

• God designed a life that is fully functioning.
• In all circumstances, revelation restores all life. It shows you the position that God needs you to be in order to move you forward.
• Whether its an enemy/friend or obstacle/foot stool, everything is working for you, not against you.
• God starts everything with chaos. He is also a god of precepts, patterns, and principles. You just have to put the plan into affect by changing your mind and aligning to His will.
• Graduate from faith to trust.
• prosperity —» guaranteed provision (Isaiah 46:10)
• Things may seem bleak but God will finish that which He has started. 
• God says “This is not the final chapter in your life.”
• Realize: You have been put together, perfectly planned by God. “You’re a prototype, not a stereotype.” You are the product of God!
• The real you is your core, do not get consumed by wearing the labels of the outside world. The enemy tries to make you fluctuate between faith && flesh.
• Job 23: 13-14 —» God gets involved in the intricacies of your life to remove the ambiguity within it. So if its important for Him to handle, it should be important to you handle as well. #Details
• When you are marked by God, you are detailed by Him.
• When you design you life by God’s plan, you have no choice but to prosper. Expect for Him to move on your behalf.
• His fashions are not fads…
