Today’s Scripture…
1 John 4:7-11
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
Thoughts…
So, when you read today’s verses, did you start singing, “What the world needs now is love, sweet love”? Maybe I was the only one…LOL. However, you are welcome for getting it stuck in your head now. Seriously, I would love to change the last to, “love, God’s love!”
God’s love is so much powerful than any love we experience. God’s love sees you for who you really are and still loves you. His love sees you for all you can be and not just what you are right now. God’s love doesn’t end. His love doesn’t depend on anything else.
Can you say that about your love towards others? I know I can’t. I wish I could. I have gotten angry with people and walked out of their lives or pushed them out of mine. I am working on it. In the mean time I just have to ask God to help me love them with His love.
