Are you the person the person you are looking for is looking for?
Andy Stanley has some great practical advice to remind us what love is like:

But if God is Love, and He is in me, then doesn't my new nature have these characteristics?
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?
the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
We love because he first loved us
Can the righteous become more right?
Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we ARE righteous.
I am the person the person I am looking for is looking for... but the enemy has mind-tricks to make me forget.
May the 4th be with you.
