It’s all very simple and very basic, God is love!

We love because God first loved us.
1 John 4:19 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
It’s all very simple and very basic. God is love. He is its origin, example, and architect. I love because He loved me first. I know how to love because He has demonstrated it to me. I can love because He made me to have His likeness, and He gave me His Spirit and His character and because He lives in me His love is also in me. He is the fountain, the motivation, and the pinnacle of love. I love because He does, first, last, and always. And His love is unconditional Love, you don’t have to earn it! He just loves us.

MY PRAYER…
God of all comfort, thank You for comforting me with Your love. Just as a child learns from parents how to do so many things, I want to learn to love as You do: sacrificially, selflessly, and submissively. That others may know that they do not have to earn Your love, only receive it. I want to learn to love as You do: that others will see You in me. Help me Holy Father, to be more like You every day. In Jesus name I pray.
Amen
