“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love” – John 15:9-17
Not many can express unconditional love, maybe because we are human. But we must learn to Love like God. In our world today, love means different things to different people. Rather than love assuming the character of sacrifice, it wears the cloak of lust. Rather than love giving willingly, it wants to receive. It is time to shift away from human incomplete love, to God’s unconditional love that has no end. Unconditional love gives life at the point of death; it gives light in darkness and strength in times of weakness.
We ought to express love to one another as God would do. This is particularly important as we collectively tackle disease, ignorance and poverty ravaging our world today. This means we have to willingly give ourselves to help and save others in difficult situations. Love is a sacrifice – giving without expecting anything in return. God loves us unconditionally – so He gave Jesus Christ to us. But what are we willing to give to each other in return?
God is telling us today to make a life-changing decision to follow His steadfast love. God is the source of healing, blessings, victory, joy, value, and hope. Nothing you face in life will detach you from the love of God. All that you need to do is to immerse yourself in God’s love by simply believing that God loves you. Hold that belief every minute of your life. Tell yourself always that God loves you, and Jesus cares for you!
If you believe in God’s love for you, He will cause His love to fill every void in your life. God’s love is free and universal. It is available to everyone. Just BELIEVE THAT GOD IS LOVE AND JESUS LOVES YOU!
PRAYER
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I open myself to a renewed inflow of your divine love today, and I declare that I have a new identity and hope, for Christ’s love fills me. Lord, I cease to yearn for empty, mental, and emotionally laden affection, and I declare a shift to a limitless ocean of love that rests in the heart and soul of Christ. Thank you, father. AMEN.
