LOVE BEGATS LOVE

     “In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”   1 John 4: 10

     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
