We have loved
love-ones, family, friends, work, play and things. Often, the most important things are not
things, it is people. Not just people,
but people-relationships; relationships which require love. The true source of love is God and we must
get that love and its deep-seated emotional values from Him. Prior to the
eternal experience of first hand love, forgiveness and acceptance from God, we
cannot share these ‘feeling’s with others.
Being aware of
His presence in our lives, a whole new world of love abounds. We have never loved
this way before because we have never before been loved this way. Now that we know the love of God we are able
to share His love and forgiveness with our loved ones and friends.
If God had not
first loved us, we would not know how to love.
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” ROMANS 5:8
