Love Is Not A Gift, It's A Baton

LOVE IS NOT A GIFT IT’S A BATON…based on the parable of the unmerciful servant who received mercy but didn’t pass it on … once batons become owned love stops flowing…we are carriers of the baton of love, grace, mercy and forgiveness not keepers… church history has been the erratic story of a church that’s either passed the baton on or kept and warehoused it.

Nobody owns the baton
Batons can’t be handled twice
Batons can’t be dropped
Batons are passed in motion

Batons must be passed in a zone.. delayed passing like delayed love is a fail.

Selective love
Controlling love
Conditional love
Protected love
Manipulative love
Coercive love … are not valid batons.

WE ARE SERVANTS OF THE BATON and few things make God as angry as when people who’ve received his love, mercy, grace and forgiveness…don’t pass it on.
