Love is the epicenter of the Christian life. That is why it is important we pay attention to our love life and ensure we grow in it. This is simply because God cannot call us to a large place with a small heart. He cannot trust us to disciple nations when we have no love.

𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞.

It is impossible for you to love someone and not know why. It is also impossible for you to not know if you love some. Because love is not without knowledge - Jesus knows that He loves us and He knows why He loves us. 

Why do you love your neighbor (your wife, children, friend, and your enemy)? If we don't answer this question correctly it becomes impossible for us to grow in the love of God towards them without any knowledge. 

You can't possibly love or not love someone you don't know. The holy spirit thought me a lesson a few weeks ago, He said, don't be quick to say you love or don't love someone you don't know anything about. 

𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞. If your love does not abound in knowledge first, it cannot abound in judgment (you can't judge what is right, approved or vital)

Loves knowledge goes beyond what the eye can see, that is why you cannot say you love someone just because of the way they talk or laugh or dress...it must go beyond the physical if the love must Judge accurately.
