It’s easy to think about God and how much He loves me. I’ve been doing that practically my whole life. And that’s quite a few years now.
Something else I’ve hoped for practically my whole life is this:
I hope you can look around you and get the same feeling of love I’m talking about.
Maybe not you specifically. But you are included in my company of fellow human beings. And God says I’m supposed to love my neighbor as myself. I know I don’t want me to be tormented forever. So, I certainly shouldn’t want that for you either.
If that feeling of love, for you, isn’t immediately clear, think about it…pray about it. Ask God to open your heart and the eyes of your understanding. Ask Him to flood your heart with His love, mercy, and wisdom. Then, just believe He will.
And when He does, be prepared to let that love flow through your heart and into the hearts of the ones you love. God’s love won’t empty out. There’s more than enough to go around. So, don’t be afraid to let it flow right through you. To get filled up, read 1 Corinthians 13:1-13.
There was an interesting picture in my news feed yesterday where a young man was kneeling next to an older man lying on the street. The young man had his hand on the older man’s knee, and his head was bowed in prayer.
That’s love.
It doesn’t have to be some great act of sacrifice or some giant financial gift to a charity. You can express God’s love for others simply by touching someone and praying for them. And you don’t even have to touch them. When you see someone who needs prayer…and that’s everyone by the way…pray for them. I wish I could say I’ve been doing that my whole life. But I that’s advice I need to hear as much as I needed to say it.
In this mean ol’ world, there’s a massive amount of hate, contempt, and rebellion against God. But love lives here, too. How do I know? Because I’m here. And by that I mean…I count myself a Christian. I’m part of the Body of Christ. Since I’m part of the Body of Christ and I’m still here, it means the Holy Spirit is still here. And where the Holy Spirit is, there is love.
Don’t miss out on your chance for everlasting life in the place where the sign on the door says:
“Love Lives Here”
