This Is Love

“In this is love, not that we
loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our
sins.” - (1 John 4:10)
In fact, God’s word says that this is the very definition of love
– not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to save us from
our own sins.
For God is the source of love. He’s the reason we’re able to love
and be loved.
He is love.
We often hear the command for us to love God more, to love others
more, to love ourselves more even.
1 John 4:19 says that we love, because He first loved us.
Truly, those who are forgiven much, love much.
When we understand the extent of God’s love for us, what He has
done for us, what He has planned for our future, then love will naturally grow
within us.
There’s no need to forcibly conjure up love within ourselves.
We may go through the motions of doing lovely deeds, but without
authentic, genuine, God-inspired love, it all means nothing.
“Though I speak with the tongues
of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a
clanging cymbal.” - (1 Corinthians 13:1)
Go through His Word, find out all that He’s done for you, and let
love naturally well up within you.
Be Greatly Blessed!
Prayer:
Father, I’m humbled by your deep
love for me.
In your love, I can fully place
my trust.
For I know, that nothing can ever
stop your love for me.
No, not even I myself can stop
you from loving me.
That’s the blessed assurance that
I have.
As I dwell in your love today,
teach me to love others as you’ve loved me.
Let your compassion and mercy
flow in and through me to touch the lives of those around me.
So that they too, can have a
glimpse of your love and seek you out.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name,
AMEN!
