1John 4:19 “We love because He first loved us.”
John 14:15 “If you love me, you will obey what I command.”
John 13:34 “ A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so must you love one another other.”
Matthew 22:37 “Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
Loving God and being loved by God can be really difficult for me. Human affection is something I’ve been taught to understand. God‘s love is something I have to meditate on to understand. I have to be still in my soul to recognize His love for me. Loving Him back is also hard for me. How do we do it? Jesus said, if we love Him we will obey His commands. The two greatest commands are to love God and love others. When I live my life, knowing I am deeply loved, created by Him, for Him, and He is with me always, it helps me love Him back. When I love a person, I want to spend time with that person and give my best to them. I believe that’s how we are to love God too. When I love a person, I am constantly thankful for that person. Sometimes, I forget to be thankful that I have an intimate God who loves me dearly. Sometimes I forget that out of my love for Him, I love one another other. Today, I hope to remember😇. We love Him, because He first loved us.
