Love Motivation

Play A Letter to My kids video

Jesus is conditioning our hearts and adjusting our beliefs towards love.

What motivates you?

What gets you wanting more?

What gets you hungry?

What motivates you can be hidden way deep inside your heart.

Stages of motivation.

Conditional love.

Pure love.

Clear and brown water.

Example:

Ralph told me that we are finally feeling loved and now you are asking us to love others.

Born to be Loved.

&

Born to love others as yourself.

1 John 5:3 (NASB95)

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.

If we are made as Love’s kind were created to love.

Fear, anger, pride, anxiety,

Pride

We respond and love each other based on what they deserve or dont deserve.

Peter

The love Peter and Jesus had a love together that kept Peter from leaving.

Hidden motivation of Peter

Respect verses Love

John 6:66–68 (NASB95)

66 As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore. 67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?” 68 Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.

Who else has the word of God?

Some part of Peter knew that Jesus was his key in finding the motivation of pure love.

Peter kept at the table after being rebuked more than once.

John 21:15–17 (NASB95)

15 So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Tend My lambs.” 16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.” 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Tend My sheep.

What is living from the motivation of being Love’s kind?

When you keep serving people who cant give anything back.

When you keep serving people who piss you off and you keep loving anyways.

When you posture your heart to love that person the way God loves them not based on their actions.

Preschool child that slapped his face.

No such a thing as a bad day, so you break down the moments into chunks.

Moments

There are 24 hours in a day 60 minutes in hour 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 moments in a second. So that works out to 5,184,000 moments in a day.

We let two or three moments ruin our entire day.

Activation:

Who do you want me to serve that I won’t get anything back from?

How do You want me to serve the ones You have given me to love better?
