L-O-V-E

Yes, it may be Valentine's Day and yes, LOVE is being advertised all over the world and yes, I do LOVE my husband but one thing comes to mind when I hear the word L-O-V-E.

Let me tell you what does NOT come to mind.  It's not red hearts, special cards, romance, chocolate candy, and hot dates.  The world's concept of love is temporal, it's conditional. 

Let me tell you what does come to mind...

GOD IS LOVE.

GOD IS LOVE.

GOD IS LOVE.
(1 John 4:8 says it)

We love because HE FIRST LOVED US.  1 John 4:19
While romantic love has so many delusions, there is no delusion about God’s love.

During my time with Father this morning studying 1 John, I could not stop dwelling on the fact that outside of Him, it is impossible to love.  He is love.  He defines love.  He demonstrated that love through His Son Jesus.  Only through Him do we have the ability to love.

There is nothing you can do to make God love you more! There is nothing you can do to make God love you less! His love is unconditional and impartial.


There is no greater love.



The more I love God and abide in that love, the more I am able to love my husband and others.  I can only love others as much as I love God.  Is that not fascinating?

Whether you are single, divorced, married, a widow, etc - we have a reason to celebrate every single day of the year!  Absolutely noone can love you the way Father loves you!

Have you responded to His love?  How are you doing loving others?
