Indescribable LoveÖrnek

God’s love is intended for us; but it is also meant to flow through us. 

We have received an unimaginable gift of love from God. Both the quality and quantity of God’s love is beyond description. It is from the basis of receiving God’s love that we can give to others. We don’t give from ourselves, but from the love of God that fills us to overflowing. We love because God first loved us.

Loving people is not just a suggestion, it is a command. Loving people is the reason God sent His Son. Loving people was the motivation for the Son of God to give His life for the world. Loving people is important to God. 

Jesus is our best example of how to love others. It is not up to us to set the measuring rod for how much we should love people. Jesus showed us a much higher way of love than our natural ways. 

Jesus loved regardless of whether or not that love was returned. He washed the feet of Judas even when He knew Judas was going to betray Him to death. The Son of God died an excruciating death although those He was dying for mocked Him, beat Him, and ridiculed Him. Jesus loved Peter even though Peter denied Him three times. Following the command to love others, even when it is difficult, is powerful. God’s love activated through us becomes a witness to the world - that we are followers of Christ.

It’s time for us to honour God by loving people as Jesus loves people.

Prayer:

Father, would You help me each and every day to love people in the same way that Jesus loved. I want Your love to flow through me so that my life would be a witness to others.
