How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You

 

Beloved, if God loved us so very much, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:11


As believers in the body of faith, what a blessing it is to be loved by God.  The problem for a lot of Christians is that we tend to hoard our love away rather than follow God’s will for our lives and give it away.  In fact, we are to love others unconditionally just as has He loved us.

There is not one person on this earth that does not desire to be loved and to find acceptance.  God’s love is the most wonderful gift He could possibly give to any of us.  We all have the privilege to share that love by letting it flow through us into the lives of others.

Many people enjoy ‘getting’ but real joy is found by ‘giving.’  Do you remember those Pez candy dispensers?  We all need to be like a Pez dispenser in the sense that people come to us as a dispensary of blessings and love.

It is comforting to know that we are lovable, now it is up to us to share that love with someone else!

All You Need Is Love

 

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.  1 John 4:7

The Beatles were onto something with "All You Need Is Love."  After all, Jesus identified the two greatest commandments as loving God and loving other people.  Even John made the radical statement that "those who lack love don't know God." 

What surprises me about Christianity in modern times is that many people understand the need to go to church, to serve and volunteer when it's convenient, and people will support the occasional mission trip or ministry effort, but when it comes to love, the majority of the modern Christian church seems to be missing something.

It's sad, because it's not that we don't have love, it's just that individually speaking, we as believers are often times indistinguishable from the world around us. 

There is an urgency in John's instructions-we have been born of a loving God and what this word needs now more than anything is love.
