But when you serve each other in love you are in freedom. Because love is motivated by the joy of shaving our fullness , but the works of the flesh are motivated by the desire to fill our emptiness . It is enslaved to one futile desire after another in its effort to fill an emptiness which only Christ can fill. So works of the flesh are motivated by a desire to fill our emptiness. When we love we are not enslaved to use things or people to fill our emptiness.
Love is the overflow of our fullness.
Therefore, love is the only behavior that we can do in freedom. When God frees us from guilt and fear and greed and fills us with his all-satisfying presence, the only motive left is the joy of sharing our fullness. When God fills the emptiness of our heart with forgiveness and help and guidance and hope, he frees us from the bondage to accumulate things and manipulate people. People who devote large hunks of their life to surrounding themselves with the comforts of this world testify that God has not filled the void of their heart to overflowing. When God is our portion and we are truly free then we will serve one another through love.
