LOVE DOES HEALS AND KEEPS ONE HEALTHILY ALIVE: APPLY IT TODAY BY INCREASING THE DOSAGE!
“Be ye therefore FOLLOWERS of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK in LOVE, as Christ also hath LOVED us, and hath GIVEN himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a SWEETSMELLING savour” Ephesians 5:1-2.
It’s a high time you top up and increase your LOVE DOSAGE. God LOVES you – “. . . GO AND DO LIKEWISE” in every circumstance of doing life and living godly. That’s what’s our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in humanity told the self-righteous and self-justifying and questioning Lawyer on who is my neighbour to love was charged to do on the law with second commandments in order to fulfil the summed up of the ten commandments into two as written.
“And, behold, a CERTAIN LAWYER stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to INHERIT eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how READEST thou? 27 And he answering said, Thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with ALL THY HEART, and with ALL THY SOUL, and with ALL THY STRENGTH, and with ALL THY MIND; and thy NEIGHBOUR as thyself. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 But he, willing to JUSTIFY himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? . . . . 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was NEIGHBOUR unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, GO, AND DO THOU LIKEWISE” Luke 10:25-37.
When you begin to love God in Christ Jesus stead, and love yourself in Him, and love others [neighbours] irrespective and without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation in every aspect of human relationships, you create a default for a healthy living – knowingly and unknowingly toward God and His Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit, and toward your humanity.
“Let LOVE be WITHOUT DISSIMULATION [HYPOCRISY]. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with BROTHERLY LOVE; in honour preferring one another” Romans 12:9-10/Emphasis Mine.
If you think you are struggling, top of your FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus with the love lubricant, and you will experience the graciousness and gracefulness of God’s BLESSEDNESS beyond your wildest imagination. And to top up it’s by the indwelling Holy Spirit of God, by which our Father God has lavished His love in our hearts to love unreservedly, intentionally and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation in the grace wherein we stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED [LAVISHED] out in our HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us. 6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God DEMONSTRATES His own LOVE toward us, in that while WE WERE STILL SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8.
“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been CALLED unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself” Galatians 5:6, 13-14.
Living and walking in LOVE as God has loved us in Christ Jesus, is all we need earnestly now as a default in order to obtain the leverage over that mountain that tends to stop us in our path of living purposefully and gracefully in the FULNESS of doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
Be blessed in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS as you intentionally top up your LOVE dosage in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.
“Let LOVE be without DISSIMULATION (HYPOCRISY).

Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:9-21/Emphasis Mine.

Then said Jesus unto him, GO, AND DO THOU LIKEWISE” Luke 10:25-37.
