If you don’t have a reputation for this, you might want to develop one …
I’ve never met a human being the love of God has not touched.
Scripture says that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, Jesus … You know the story. It’s a story of a love so great we struggle to wrap our minds around it.
God’s love for us has touched us in so many ways, we could never cease in our gratitude for it. The love we know from God is something we like to talk about.
But let’s talk about something else.
How great is your love?
As a child of God, adopted by the Creator to be His own son or daughter, how great is your love? Do those who are, or have been, touched by your life speak of an incredible love that comes from you?
There is no governor or filter or brake to throttle back the love that you and I share with others. Quite the opposite, scripture encourages us to unleash love!
“Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God,” 1 John 4:7.
“So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples,” John 13:34-35.
“Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins,” 1 Peter 4:8.
“Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you.
Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony,” Colossians 3:12-14.
God’s love is a big thing!
Is yours?
