We had a ladies brunch on the 29th May and the 5th June 2026 at O'Driscolls, Jacobsbaai. It was a special time of fellowship around the Lord Jesus. Our theme was LOVE and we were challenged by a number of scriptures in the practical outworking of LOVE in our christian walk. Here are a few thoughts for you to meditate on.
The importance of love in our lives cannot be stressed enough
There is only one source of love and that is God. For GOD IS LOVE.
Love cannot be manufactured; mimicked or feigned; if so, then it will not be TRUE; it will be a pseudo.
Real love endures ALL things; it withstands every conceivable test; it never fails.
TRUE LOVE comes from God alone. It’s not separate to Him but it is He Himself. More of God and Jesus in my life means more love.
Fundamentally love is not about yourself. It’s about God and others. It’s about giving not necessarily receiving.
The charity spoken of in 1 Corinthians 13 is actually Sacrificial Love, not “I love you because you love me”. It is loving others with the love of the Lord! In fact, I cannot love like this – BUT the good news is that the realization in myself of this is a step in the right direction. Its CHRIST IN ME!
We had the example of the rusk yesterday at the ladies' meeting – A boere rusk is normally rock hard and not easy to chew. One has to dunk it otherwise you can hurt your teeth and gums but when you put it in the coffee, it is so much more palatable. How much pleasure does one get from engaging with hard, unbending, self-centred, unloving persons.
Let’s be like that rusk and immerse ourselves in the love of God; in Jesus so that He permeates our every action, our every reaction, we are light in this dark, unloving world in which we live. People are craving love but they are look in the wrong place. GOD IS LOVE. Let’s be those who pass on the love of God to our families, our fellowship, our neighbours, our communities!!
