Hmmmm, how can we constantly love? It is so hard.
We love, then we get it wrong, but we love.
We Christians know we are deeply loved by God. Saved by the loving sacrifice of His Son. We know that this is love. So we love, and the Spirit directs us to love, so we love. We have been reborn to love, so we love.
But so often I get it wrong. Over and over, I don't love like I should, or how I would like! What!?!
I need help, and I have it, a heavenly father.
Phew.
Our heavenly Father helps his children through prayer and his Spirit. He can strengthen us to more deeply understand and know the love of Jesus. To know how to joyfully self sacrificially love.
He helps his children know how to love.
Nice.
So to prayer I go ….. I hope to grow…. in love …..
1 John 4:10-12 NIV
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
