What better month than the month of February to talk about love. There are many ways to see love in action. Love is something that is unconditional. God gives His Love to us no matter how we act. Even if we don't believe in Him, He still loves us. The book of Romans tells us that nothing is able to separate us from the Love of God that is in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:38,39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the Love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
True love is selfless it is always delivered without expectations. True love never says "I love you" and then expect to hear it back. When you truly love, it does not matter how someone reacts to your loving them. When Love is delivered with expectations, boundaries or anything of the nature that involves receiving for self is not of God. There are a number of ways that we can see God's love. When you look at a newborn baby you can see God's divine love. Watching the clouds move across the sky is an act of God. Watching a hummingbird come to a feeder to drink is surely something only God could be the author of. There are also a number of ways that we can show God's love. There are our friends, our coworkers and our family that look at us all the time. Do we show them the love of God? How do we show God that we love Him?
John 14:15, If you love me you will obey what I command.
We can't really show true Love with just words. We must put action to our words.
1st John 3:18 Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. Just the simple Act of trusting God shows Him how much we love Him. Love always trusts. Love Is defined in 1st Corinithians 13:4-8a love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, and it is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not Delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails.
Share your love and received his love all through the year.
