Words of Encouragement

 

February - 17 - 2008

 

This is a very simple truth. God is love. He is love's origin, example, and architect. We love because he loved us first. We know how to love because he has demonstrated it. We can love because he made us in his likeness and to share his character. He is the fountain, the motivation, and the pinnacle of love. We love because he does, first, last, and always.

Let us read 1 John 4:19.

We love, because He first loved us.

Let us pray.

God of comfort, thank you for comforting us with Your love. Just as a child learns from parents how to do so many things, we want to learn to love as You do: sacrificially, selflessly, and submissively so that others may know that they do not have to earn Your love, only receive it.

In Jesus' name we pray.

Amen.
