Healing Your Past Hurts Require Love - Part 1
You may be asking yourself how does love help me to heal? How do I conquer my past emotional trauma? I have to look inwardly at myself before I look outward. When we check our love meter we can see where we have been immature in our love. Our society confuses love and lust. Unlike lust, God’s kind of love is directed outward toward others, not inward toward ourselves. It is utterly unselfish. This kind of love goes against our natural inclinations. It is impossible to have this kind of love unless God helps us set aside our own natural desires so that we can love without expecting anything in return. We can’t manufacture
this kind of love when we don’t feel it. We gain it only through the Holy Spirit according to Romans 5:5) “Now hope does not disappoint, because the love
of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” We never love perfectly; only Jesus can. Thus, the more we become
like Christ, the more love we will show to others.
