Are you low on love?

We love, because He first loved us. ..  1 John 4:19

God loves you. Personally. Powerfully. Passionately. Others have promised and failed. He loves you with an unfailing love. And His love –if you will let it — can fill you and leave you with a love worth giving.

Love is patient.  ..  1 Corinthians 13:4

Patience is the red carpet upon which God’s grace approaches us.

Love is kind.  ..  1 Corinthians 13:4

The kindness of Jesus. We are quick to think of His power. But those near Him and know God comes cloaked in kindness.

Love does not envy.  ..  1 Corinthians 13:4

God offers authentic love. His devotion is the real deal. But He won’t give you the genuine until you surrender the imitations.

Love does…not boast, it is not proud. .. 1 Corinthians 13:4

That’s what love does. It puts the beloved before itself. Your soul was more important than His blood. Your eternal life was more important than His earthly life. Your place in heaven was more important to Him than His place in heaven. So He gave up His so you could have yours.

Love is not rude. .. 1 Corinthians 13:5

Jesus always knocks before entering. He doesn’t have to.  He owns your heart. If anyone has the right to barge in, Christ does. But He doesn’t. The gentle tap your heart? It’s Christ. “Behold, I stand at the door and knock” (Rev. 3:20). And when you answer. He awaits your invitation to cross the threshold.

Thought for the Day

Only those willing to take blame can ever be trusted with responsibility.
