This section from 1 John 4 has been on my heart recently,
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.” 1 John 4:7-12
Thank you, God that even when we were lost in our sins you loved us. You loved us first with such a passion that you came down from heaven in the form of a servant and offered up your life for ours. Their is no greater love than this. Jesus, I pray that you would give us this same love for each other. For the lost. For the broken. O God, abide in us.
Amen.
