Pure Glory

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Love beyond yourself.

If your love doesn’t carry you beyond yourself, it isn’t love. “And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; Though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved,” (2 Corinthians 12:15). In the natural, one loves expecting love in return. Paul says, “I do not care whether you love me or not, I am willing to destitute myself completely, not merely for your sakes, but that I may draw you to God.”

The real test for the Bride is not in her preaching the gospel, but washing the feet of others, and doing things that do not count in the actual estimate of men, but matters for everything in the eyes of God. God delights in the bride when she spends herself out for God’s interest, in other people, not caring what the cost will entail; and doing it gladly. A lot of what we call love is really affection because it doesn’t go beyond ourselves. Love beyond yourself today, and love your Hater.
