Love is the centrepiece of thriving relationships. Scripture makes it clear that we need to be people who love love God with all our hearts, love our neighbour as ourselves, and love our enemies.
Yet it is hard to love when we don't feel loved. Neglected children, spouses who feel ignored by their mates and parents who are alienated from their children all know the heartache of a life that lacks love.
So, for everyone who longs to be loved, welcome to the pleasure of knowing that you are richly loved by God.
Think of the profound impactof His love that was poured out for you at the cross. .
Meditate on the fact that if you have trusted in Him, His love covers your faults and failures and that you are clothed with His spotless righteousness.
Revel in the fact that nothing can separate you from His love.
Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus Our Lord.
Embrace His loving provision of a future secured for you where you will be eternally loved
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
When John tells us that we "ought to love one another" he calls us the "beloved".
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
Once you embrace how wonderfully loved you are by God, it will be much easier to be the loving person God calls you to be even towards those who don't show you love.
"Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all"
Do you need to make a response to God’s love? Ready to say, I love you too? Jesus “If you love me, keep my commandments!” Respond to His grace and love, with faith and obedience…
Brethren, remember that embracing God's love for us is the key in loving others.
