Week 7
Hebrews 7
“Yet the One these things all point to, was from a different tribe and no one from that tribe ever officiated at God’s altar, for we all know that our Lord didn’t descend from the tribe of Levi, but shined from the tribe of Judah. And Moses himself never said anything of a priest in connection with Judah’s tribe. And all this is made even clearer if there was another King-Priest raised up with the rank of Melchizedek. This King-Priest did not arise because of a genealogical right under the law to be a priest, but by the power of an indestructible, resurrection life! For it says in the Psalms, You are like Melchizedek, a King-Priest forever!”

How?
Jesus said, “Fear not. Believe only.” Luke 8:50, Mark 5:36.
In order to tap into the force of Love, we simply must believe that Love loves us!
If God, who is the embodiment of love, loves us, then we must believe that He would only want the best for us.
In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul gives us 10 characteristics of God(Love).
patient, remaining confident under stress
kind at all times
a cheerful giver, never envious
humble, not self-focused
never rude
does not manipulate by shame or condemnation
is not irritable or easily offended
celebrates honesty
does not focus on what is flawed, but points out the good
never gives up and is loyal to the end
Action Step
Meditate on the above list of Loves (God’s) character.
Rather than judging yourself for your own flaws, focus on the truth that God responds to you with these Love qualities every time you talk to Him.
Yes, every time!
That is the force of love!
Fear not, believe only!
