my guess?
love.
That one,
Love.
If we are honest, we have all been disappointed with love at one time or another. Those 4 little letters put together can cause so much pain.
But ~
Maybe we don't truly know what love is.
Maybe we were made to learn to love from a different Source.
I mean,
we look to Hollywood for what romatic love looks like. we look to wholesome novels (think Little Women) for what familial love looks like. We look to other books, or television shows to see what friendship-love looks like.
What if....
just what would happen if....
We looked to the Author of love for what love really means?
1 John 4:7-11 says Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.I don't know about you, but i need to learn love from God. to rest in His love for me. His perfect, self-sacrificing, tender love for me. I need to give that love to others. The love with which i have been loved. Give it away freely.
Is there someone in your life who you just wish would love you? Is there an ache there? Let our amazing God of perfect love come to that place. Let Him love you. He will love you for you... not for what you have or have not done. Not for what you have or haven't said. No. He loves YOU for YOU. He looks at you and He loves you.
No,
not the Hollywood love. not the love of novels. not the love we see on the television. not a love based on feelings.
But He loves you. deeply. He loves me. completely.
He loves us according to The Book.
The Bible.
Take a look inside, and see the greatest love of all on display.
