God is love:
1st John 4:7-8
Beloved let us love one another, for love is of God and everyone that loves is born of God and knows God. He that loves not, does not know God for God IS love.
How can that be?  How can he be love?
    – Isn’t that an emotion, a feeling, an experience.  NO.
    – Love is the very Character of Who he is.

Motivated by Love:
When we really believe in Jesus Christ, we trust in the God of the scriptures and all that they say they (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) are.  We receive this Love into us as we receive the Salvation of our souls, because really that is the same thing.  IF God IS love then when we receive him we are receiving a love that is prefect.
This love impels us, It motivates us to be better than what we were, or ever are.  
    – We begin to establish his nature in us
    – we begin to change in to what he is 
    –how we were really created  (the creation of man)
Everything God did was motivated by love to motivate us to love:
    What truly are good works?
    – Acts of service
    – Acts of Love
    – Acts to help some one else.
We don’t do these selfishly, you can’t or they are not really good works.
They don’t come as a desire to perform, they come as a by product of our desire to Love God and obey his love to us.

This is a heart level Action.  Not the head, because the head cant love, it can only reason, but the heart can love.  The head is to keep the heart balanced.  The head is the action behind the motivation of the heart.
Not what I can do for or even with God, but what can I love with  him.  If God is Love that is the nature of his Heart.

We have the right to choose this Love:
John 1:12
“but to as many received him. to them he gave the right ( authority ) to become children of God, to those who believed in his name.  Who were born, not of blood, nor the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
Not of Blood– Birth right Family
        not of the flesh– Sin nature and desire
        not of the will of man– Purpose and determination
        But of God– Grace, Power and love.    
            v16 — “ and of his fullness we have all received and grace for grace”
As we choose this Love we get to be the New Testament sion of the Tabernacle.
v 14:
    14And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.
We get to be the Tents that contain the fullness of the epic treasures of the Heavens.  All the fullness of God, the spirit with out measure for just as fast as we can give it out he wants to give us a double portion of what we just delivered.

Our problem is we get in the way of the Love.
We worry about the works, and our fear, which is cast out by his love we put our eyes on the things that are not his love and we get emptied of the Love that is our life line to the father.
this is a discipline to keep our eyes on the father. all the time.  Keep our eyes on what Dad says, and wait for what he is doing.  WHen we stop the flow we lose the ability to be like him and we go to an empty tent.  no good for anything.
