Stay focused on God! Be hopeful, flexible and willing to adjust your perspective to God’s operating principle--love. God's definition of love is based on His holiness, not the worldly interpretation of the word. The Bible describes the characteristics and actions of this Holy love. As with other Godly standards, it's your choice to accept His definition and want to change, and in doing so you honor God as you prove your heartfelt belief. In Romans 13:8, the Apostle Paul advises; "Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another."

 

Holy love works (1 John 3:18). It's both a noun and a verb, as modeled by Jesus Christ. Consistent action shows your confidence in the Word of God. To honor God means that when you are worried about the future, you intentionally shift your focus to generate thoughts about the truth of God’s Word so you'll act consistently with it. For example, when you are mad or hurt about a situation, first you'll forgive and then you'll be able to generate ideas to find a pathway back to an amiable relationships. By receiving God’s love for you, you'll feel inspired to shake off disappointments, offenses and negative thinking so you can physically act out your spiritual reality (His righteous character expressed through you - Christian Cognitive consistency), achieving peace with God and man (Proverbs 3:4, Romans 5:1, Isaiah 32:17-18, Philippians 1:11).

 

Don't compartmentalize God. Instead, keep reading the Word and imagine the possibilities that you have “in Christ” (Matthew 19:26, Galatians 3:26).​
