DO YOU LOVE OR TOLERATE?

DO YOU LOVE OR TOLERATE?

In the kingdom the word tolerate does not have the same meaning as in the english language, because in does not consider the heart attitude. Many times leaders tolerate improper behavior and even sin, because they are cowards, fearful of confrontation, or they are ignorant of how to properly correct, or discipline in love. Kingdom people do not enter into toleration, but "they speak the truth in love, so that all may grow up in Me in all areas:" Ephesians 4:15 Do you really love people or just tolerate them? Are you laying down your life for those that you tolerate? Do you get sick of people? Do you wish some would just disappear because they bug you, but instead you are tolerating them? If this be the case you are attempting to love people with your human love and not My Father's love. "For if you only love them which love you, what thank have you? for sinners also love those that love them." Luke 6:32 Now don't just make up your mind that tomorrow you are going to start loving people with My love, because if you haven't got it, you haven't got it! You must come get it from Me, but it won't happen with that crazy schedule you have! 

My love is extremely costly to your flesh, actually putting it to death. Human love is part of your old nature. Scratch my back, I'll scratch yours, is an expression of normal human love. This attitude never originated with Me. Curse Me and I will bless you, is My nature, and you cannot have My nature unless your dies. If you are a sincere believer, as long as your flesh is alive, you will tolerate those who irritate you and deceive yourself by calling it love! Tolerating, is biting your tongue, gritting your teeth, or keeping your mouth shut when all the time you are boiling inside. Tolerating is putting up with, while despising. Tolerating is filled with hidden resentment. Long term toleration leads to bitterness. Toleration is not longsuffering because longsuffering has the purpose of developing patience.Toleration is not being patient, because patience has the purpose of maturity where you want nothing. James 1:4 

There are people who you tolerate that love you, and have no idea you are tolerating them. Most have no knowledge that you are tolerating them, and wish they would disappear. Some of those you tolerate are spiritually ahead of you because your toleration, classes you with the hypocrites. Grace causes My Father to tolerate your toleration of others until you are personally transformed by My love. When you are transformed by My love,  your toleration will turn into unconditional love. Spending time in My presence each day will transform your toleration to My unconditional love, but if you can't afford the time with Me, you will spend the rest of your life tolerating those I place in your life! Love does not tolerate, 1Corinthians 13. It transforms.
