Summary

In this opening message of Spirituality That Heals, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the modern distortion of love and restores its true, biblical meaning. Teaching from Galatians 5:22–23, he shows that love—the first fruit of the Spirit—is not mere emotion or tolerance but self-giving action modeled by Christ Himself. True biblical love is most visible not in comfort but in conflict, sacrifice, and forgiveness. Dr. Youssef challenges believers to repent of counterfeit love, to be filled daily with the Holy Spirit, and to let Christ love others through them—even when hurt, rejected, or criticized—so that the Church becomes a living witness to God’s redeeming power. If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone. 🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer Teams Our trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support. https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at: https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way: https://www.ltw.org/donate

0:11.0	Don't ever make the mistake of thinking that love is cheap word, no.
0:18.0	When God said, I love you, here's what he was saying. He was saying, I love you all of the
0:24.3	time. He's saying, I loved you when you were rebellious. I loved you when you were disobedient.
0:30.5	I loved you when you ignored me. I loved you when you kept me out of your life's plan. Oh, yes, I loved you, even when there was nothing
0:41.1	in you that deserves my love.

1:57.7	Love.
1:59.4	Let's just examine this for a moment. Parents, and I've met some, who absolutely
2:05.3	refuse to discipline their children, they refuse to train their children, they let them run
2:11.0	wild and they say, it is out of love. What kind of love is that? There are some husbands and wives who refuse to be honest with each other,
2:22.7	open with each other, transparent with each other. And they say, well, it's out of love that we do that.
2:30.4	What kind of love is that? Friends do not speak the truth to each other.
