Love

Love and being loved is something we all desire. It can be easy for some and hard for others. Most of the time we think love is just a feeling or being nice to someone. It’s more than a feeling or kind actions. God is the best example of love. John 3:16 says, “For GOD so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” That verse is so profound in a way that it shows the emotion of God. He loves us with a love like no other.

God is love and he wants us to love like him. “I’m not talking about sacrifice your child/children.” To love like God is to let your light shine. His love will cause you to be compassionate, kind, honest, obedient to him, fearless, hopeful and confident in his word. We’ll treat others right no matter how they look, meaning their skin color, lifestyle or decisions they make. Jeremiah 31:1 says, The Lord have appeared of old until me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with love and kindness have I drawn thee.” By allowing his love to reign in our hearts we show people who God is everyday. God draws us closer to him by showing and teaching us how to love others. God love doesn’t run out for us. It is an everlasting flow.

If we don’t know how to love, God teaches us through his son, Jesus. All we have to do repent and invite Jesus into our hearts. We have to be willing to change, have a made up mind, determined to live and love like him. If we allow Jesus into our lives we’ll experience a love like never before. To be a follower of Jesus is to live as, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 it teaches us, “Love is patient and is kind, love envieth not, love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. This verse should always be carried in our hearts especially when we look upon others. Everyday we wake up, we should ask God to let his love shine through us. We should always be the light that leads people to him, so they can experience his love.

God’s love is all around us. We’re his children and we have full access to him and his love. Ask God for wisdom and understanding so that you can learn/love as him. Be an overflowing vessel for God. Be his instrument so that he may use you to help those in need. May God bless and keep you.
