If love is not present, they will never see God in me or you. We might be able to operate in all the power gifts of the Spirit, but the God of all power and might is not truly revealed through these power gifts (read John 12:37 for proof of that), he is revealed through the strongest power on the face of the earth today which is "Love". The strongest power God reveals to man is His love. The man/woman who walks in this love is the strongest man on the face of the earth. The devil has no weapon against it. Love destroys the devil's work ( 1 John 3:8). Love defeated the devil at Calvary, and it's that same love that enforces that defeat of the devil today through the one who walks in this love.
It's God's greatest desire to reveal Himself through love, not His power gifts. Men are amazed at the power of God when it is on display through the power gifts such as healing, but men are moved in their hearts to faith when God's love is revealed before them. The power gifts entertain, but don't change men's hearts, where as love on display will penetrate a man's heart and cause that man to change his ways. There is no greater place to be with God then established in His love. God is unlimited with the man whose heart is filled with God's love. There is nothing that can overcome the man who is filled with God's love. The enemies of God must step aside when love is present. Love is what draws men to God, not the power gifts. Men will watch the power gifts in action, but they'll move on after the show is over. But when men see the love of God in action before them, they are drawn to it until they find the One who is producing that power of love, then they reach out and receive it for themselves and are born again. Now they themselves have become God's containers for His love to abide in and to be revealed through as God wills.
Love draws men to God. Love sends that man to other men so that other men can be drawn to God. No greater power on the face of the earth today than love. Walk in it and reveal God to all those you come into contact with. You wont have to say a thing, love will be talking through you, and you'll be preaching the true gospel of our loving God.
