"Towers of Love"
We definitely are not short-changed when we concentrate on loving and blessing others! 
We can bear witness to growing up in previous years of speaking to, extending love and helpful actions to EVERYONE.
These actions were taught and became second nature! There was no thought; it was just done! Additionally in years gone by, we knew all of our neighbors; but now perhaps we may be acquainted with only our neighbors on both sides of us.
Unfortunately, people began to change and have now become less loving, considerate and helpful to one another.
However as society continues to decline, Christians as Kingdom Citizens must remember even more so to live by
John 13:35-By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. They will know by us being "Towers of Love"!

"Towers of Love"
We are to display loving actions to all men - but especially to those who are of God's family, the Household of Faith.
If we are not careful, the temptation to be self-centered and self-focused will drown out our obedience to Daddy-God's desire that each of us be a "Tower of Love".
He desires and even requires us who are called Christians to display His love on earth.
This will be manifested through several ways including forgiving those who are not "worthy" in our carnal opinion to be forgiven, giving a hug, expressing honor and appreciation, sharing a smile,
looking people in the eyes as you converse with them thus generating the message that they are important, valued and respected.
|
"Towers of Love"
Being pro-active in extending love involves being alert for the many opportunities around us to display love, rather than waiting to "Be Asked" to "Extend Love".
Although it may be considered an unwanted interruption in your "planned" agenda, as persons who need your service, advice, resources, etc. approach you,
it really is TRULY a blessing to be the one able to do the blessing; rather than the one needing to be blessed.
Our daily mentality should be to "Be a Blessing" and not just be the object of being blessed!
Every single encounter with people is an opportunity to shine forth "Beams of Love".
What are you known as; a blesser or a taker, a lover or a hater? When people think of you, it should generate a smile in their heart!
We should add to and not take away from their quality of life!
Our love can't be phony, hypocritical or withheld!
Neither can it only be extended to people we "like"; but even more so to people whom we are "challenged" to like and love!
|
| "Towers of Love"
Let's consider this following illustration;
within the shell is the egg, as also within the rind of the watermelon is its sweet and refreshing meat.
Spiritually, what we don't seem to comprehend is that Daddy-God has encased blessings in the rind and shell of servant hood which will only be discovered and possessed as we serve and bless others!
No, we are not short-changed; because just as we are commanded to extend love to others; Daddy-God has commanded others to extend love to us!
Galatians 6:7-- Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. NLT- Don't be misled. Remember that you can't ignore God and get away with it. You will always reap what you sow!
So what is it that we desire to reap (to harvest, receive, and obtain)? Is it love, acceptance, peace, joy, favor, kindness, blessings?
If so, those are the kind of seeds we must plant!
Therefore, starting this moment, purpose to be the "Tower of Love" which Daddy God is willing to mold us to be;
for when we consider ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL that He has done for us; how can we not obey His every Word in the Bible?

"Towers of Love"
Then, we must remember the greatest reward of being a blessing which is outlined in Hebrews 6:10:
KJ-For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
New living Translation-For God is not unfair. He will not forget how hard you have worked for Him and how you have shown your love to Him by caring for other Christians, as you still do.
When we are discouraged, we often think God has forgotten all we have done for Him and His people.
But God would cease to be God (He would be unjust) if He forgot such things.
God sees and remembers!
What we must remember is not to short-change ourselves by not being a "Tower of Love!
