The people around us need God's love! Not the kind that is sexual, or platonic,
but the eternal pure love that never changes in it's quality. We are meant to
show that kind of love to others. Not to the same degree as Jesus did, but the
same quality. Not the same quantity that Jesus had, for He gave His life on the
cross for the whole of mankind. But we are meant to love one another as He loved
us, with the same purity. So each person that comes our way, every relationship
that we have and all our prayers are meant to display that pure quality of love
from God.
We need God's love. It is so easy to forget He loves us
unconditionally, through and through, and will never reject us or leave us
alone. If we do not believe He loves us, then it is impossible for us to love
others with His love. That love fills our hearts by the Holy Spirit, freely
given to all who will receive. We just need to receive that love daily and enjoy
giving it away! God's love flows like a golden river ever outwards from Himself.
It is not hard work for Him to love the world, the peoples and His
creation.
Let it flow into your heart today. The flow can be blocked through
unforgiveness, resentment, or anger. But running to the Father in childlike
need, saying sorry, letting Him pick us up, sets the river flowing again. Then
it freely flows into us and out of us, and is not hard work!
'Love is
patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not
proud.........Love never fails..............Now these three remain: faith, hope
and love. But the greatest of these is love.'
1 Corinth 13: 4, 8,
13
