Day 2 – Love

Oh, what shall I say of love for there is truly nothing that compares!! 

God is love and we are in Him, and He is in us; thus, love is who we are as His children. 

We have come to know love by the greatest love ever shown. The Almighty Adonai who counts the stars and names each one, who weighs the mountains and paints the sky with His fingers… the creator of all things humbling Himself and allowing all His fullness to live in human form, to bleed and die to reconcile us to Himself. There is absolutely nothing that compares! “We love because He first loved us!”

“My beloved friends let’s continue to love each other, since love is from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God…. This is how God showed His love for us, He sent His only son so we might live through Him. This is the kind of love we are talking about, not that we loved God but that He loved us…” 1 John 4:7-10

What captures me most from this scripture is “this is the kind of love we are talking about”. This is a selfless, self-sacrificing, unconditional love; and this is the love with which Jesus wants us to love each other. To love each other as we love ourselves is no easy task and impossible in our own strength. 

Praise be to God who expresses His love through us and makes it possible to love in this supernatural way.

Prayer: Beloved Saviour, I will sing of Your love forever! Teach me to love You more and to love others the way You love. Let me become an expression of Your unfailing love as You express your tender heart of compassion through me. In Jesus’s Name. Amen
