Cultivating The Love Of God In Your Life Pt. 5

Elder David Hunter shares a personal and spiritual reflection on the lifelong journey of cultivating the love of God. Through scripture, raw honesty, and confession, he explores the emotional highs and lows of his walk with God, expressing confusion, anger, and pain, but also gratitude, joy, and revelation. Despite his resistance and personal shortcomings, God continually affirms, “Because I love you,” reminding him that divine love is unconditional and persistent, even through moments of brokenness and failure. Citing scriptures like Psalm 27 and Philippians 1:6, Hunter emphasizes that God has begun a good work in each of us and will carry it through, though the process may be uncomfortable and humbling.

The core of his message is a call to authenticity: to love without pretense, to accept correction, and to walk in the fruits of the spirit before operating in spiritual gifts. He urges listeners to drop spiritual performance and embrace real transformation that begins with accepting God’s love and then reflecting it, flawed and all. He confesses past failures to love well, apologizes publicly, and urges others to do the hard, internal work of love that changes lives and communities. Ultimately, Hunter leaves the decision with each listener: to either embrace the calling of true Christ-like love or to continue hiding behind spiritual masks.
