God knows your thoughts, motives, intentions, and desires. You’re not designed to run on emotions. Emotions will manipulate and control you if you allow it. Most people operate on emotions because that’s all they have. But you have a one-of-a-kind power system—the living Word of God and the filling and empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Combine these two and you have unlimited potential. “Be filled with the Holy Spirit” (Eph 5:18). “Study to show yourself approved unto God” (2 Tim 2:15). That’s why we need qualified pastors to teach us. Impersonal love is a professional attitude we must have as Christians. “To one who knows what to do good and does not do it, to him it is a sin” (James 4:17). It’s loving others based on who you are, not on who they are. We must love our spouse and not hold grudges. “Older women should teach younger women to love their husbands and to love their children” (Titus 2:4). “Stop thinking in terms of arrogance beyond what you should think; but think in terms of humility as God has assigned to each one of us a standard of thinking from His Word” (Rom 12:3). Personal love for God motivates us to love others with impersonal love.
