“Love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of
God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love”
(1 John 4:7b-8, NIV).
There is no way I can understand God's love unless I seek
Him. I can't understand His love until I know Him intimately. His love for me
more than fulfilled the law. It changes my heart so I can understand the reason
for it. His sacrifice offers the greatest love so that His word becomes the
height and breath my soul can reach. The one who loves is born of God, because
he is born into a new life in Christ who is the greatest love. It is my choice
to live in that love. And as I live in His love, He prepares my heart and mind
to receive the truth of His message. That message softens the hardest of hearts,
causes indifference to flee, and opens my heart to desire all of His best in my
life. The love of God makes everything crystal clear. If I live in His love, God
lives in me.
“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, NIV).
