TRUE LOVE

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”  John 3:16
         What is love?  According to the American Heritage Dictionary it involves emotions like affection, concern, devotion, kindness, adoration and endearment.  The Bible tells us that God is love (1 John 4:8).  This means He is the embodiment of what love is.  Every word and action performed by the Lord is done out of a motivation of love and not just love, but unconditional love.  Do you understand what that means?  He places no conditions on His affection for us.  He loves us just exactly the way we are, character flaws, pre-conceived notions and all.  Some might say, “I never asked God to love me.”  This comes from a heart that resists what they feel will be restrictions to their life.  The fact is that accepting God’s love and letting it change your life can be the most liberating action you ever take this side of heaven.  It’s a choice every man, woman and child must make at some point in their life. 
         God didn’t just tell us He loved us unconditionally, He showed us.  He gave His Son, Jesus Christ up as a living sacrifice to take the punishment meant for us all.  None of us are sinless.  We are all in need of forgiveness by God.  His love gift to us all came in the form of a death.  That is love, scripture says, that someone would dare to die for his friends (John 15:13-14).  Jesus calls us His friends if we do as He commands.  You see, it’s not just believing in Jesus or in God.  A change must occur in your heart and as a result in your life. True love obeys God out of loving compliance, knowing He always has our very best interests at heart. 
         God is love. We love Him because He first loved us (1 John 4:10, 19).  Let God’s love permeate your soul and then let it flow from you into the world.  Don’t just tell the world God loves them; show them by the way you live your life.  Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
