LOVE.
It’s often misunderstood and misrepresented.
It’s been used to buy and sell.
It’s been tainted and tarnished in every way possible.
All because true love comes only from God.
Man without God can’t truly understand love.
Although it’s poured out on us daily by our heavenly Father.
Romans 5:8 NKJV — But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Praise God for His love which brought Jesus to the World, that He might demonstrate love.
John 15:9 NKJV — “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.
Through Jesus, through God’s Holy Word, through the Holy Spirit’s teachings, we can find true love.
We can also learn how to love.
Infact the Bible is so full of what true love is, the definition becomes clear.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8a NKJV — Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
And this is only one portion of the many, many passages which teach us what love is.
God’s love becomes a gift to share as we ourselves understand and daily accept it.
Through personal, one-on-one relationship with Jesus Christ each of us can not only experience true love daily, we can give it freely.
Because God is love.
He already loves each and every single one of us.
I’m learning, each day, a new way to see God’s love and prayerfully, new ways to share it.
I hope you are as well.
