WOW we read four books of the Bible today! Granted they are short books but none the less you are doing GREAT! It is hard to believe that we only have 3 reading days left and that Easter is right around the corner. Let’s finish strong as we let God’s word speak to us.
1John 4:10 ESV In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Throughout the Bible God calls us to love each other, our enemies, and those that surround us each and everyday. We can’t deny that our God is one of relationship and love. Love is described wonderfully by Paul in 1 Corinthians 13 and true love has some very distinguishable characteristics. One of those characteristics is that it loves no matter what. Real love happens weather someone deserves it or not. It is easy to love those who love us. It is natural to love those who bless our lives in some way or another. But true love, loves no matter what. This is the kind of love God had for each one of us. He loved us despite of our sin, and shortcomings. He loved us and sent His one and only Son to die for us when we would have been considered unlovable even by our own standards. I pray that modern day disciples can learn from God’s example and that we might be a people who are defined by our generous love that is extended to everyone.
