THIS IS LOVE!

So many times in church and in the "Christian circle " we are told to love God and people more. Fall more in love with God and the rest will fall into place. This is what I was always taught and it sounds really good but what I realized time and time again was when I tried my hardest to love God and people but it was in my own strength and I failed and got discouraged time and time again. I heard in a teaching one night that I was listening to that we are given the definition of love in the Word. It it in IJohn 4:10 Here in is love, not that we love God but that He loved us and sent His son to be the propitiation for our sins. Love is knowing God loves us. Until we begin to understand how much we are loved by our creator, Father God, we will never be able to really love Him and those around us. We will be trying to do that and the rest of our walk with the Lord with our will power and mind and we will continue to fail. When we understand that He loves us and allow Him to love us, that love will naturally flow through us back to Him to those around us and into all of our life affecting everything we do for God. We can do nothing without Jesus. since I have been meditating on this verse and Gods love for me, I have noticed my life lining up with the Word Without me getting wore out because His love is that powerful and I need to be connected to it in order to be able to fulfill everything that He has called me to on this earth. So get connected to true love, The one who first loved you out of sin and let His perfect love change your life!
