God is love and He dwells within you. When you truly love, it
is God loving through you. Therefore, it is never wrong to love.
Love means you love enough to do whatever is in other's best
interest, meeting the needs of their heart. Sometimes, that is
easy and wonderful. Other times, it is very hard and painful.
But, love never fails. It will always accomplish the purpose in
which God gave it.
In any area of service wherein God calls you to love, yet doors
are closed, it becomes a heartache and longing within. You may
even learn to be content. However, your soul will never,
otherwise, be complete. As it is God who lives within you, it is
God who prompts your heart to love. And, He doesn’t stop calling
just because someone else disagrees, Ro. 11:29.
Additionally, if your heart condemns you not, you have
confidence toward God.
But, if man condemns you for following God (Jb. 40:8, Ro. 10:3,
Ph. 3:9-10), holding you spiritually captive, hang on. Joy comes
in the morning, I Pe. 4:13.
