And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. — 1 John 4:16
"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." That's the way Shakespeare spoke about love. But in his story, their love was a tragic love. But God's love for you isn't tragic. It's glorious.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. — 1 Corinthians 13:4
Sounds pretty good so far. God is patient with us even in our weakness. He knows we are not worthy of His love, but He loves us anyway. God is kind. It's hard to be kind sometimes, isn't it? After a long day of one stressful event after another, kindness is usually the last thing on our minds.
No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. — John 16:27
God doesn't love us because we're good. We can't do anything good enough to make the creator of the universe love us. He loves us because of the sacrifice of Jesus. And through Him, the love flows like rivers of gold.
God loves us because of Jesus' goodness, his kindness, his patience and his great faith.
My prayer for you today is to have patience with those you love today. Show kindness to people you meet along the way and have the great faith that a great God loves you.
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” — John 13:34-35
