Last night I was in Books-a-Million, and I was reading this book by Max Lucado. & I can't even remember what is was-but I finished the first two chapters. It was about God's Love.
Okay-
Check this out.
For about the past week, I've been learning, studying, practicing on loving people. Everyone-no matter what. & it has been SO easy! Usually, it's not but it has been. and it's been so amazing! and so fulfilling! and i feel so goooood. And last night when I was reading: this is what it was talking about.
Your love for others is proof of your receptiveness of God's Love.
God is always givinggivinggiving You His love! He's cherishing you, holding you, loving you, indulging Himself in You. Or, He's trying. It's all if you recieve it, embrace it, & live in it.
And if you do, His Love with fill your heart til it runs over! It will then overflow through an outlet-that outlet could be praise, generosity, speaking, really anything. But one of the biggest outlets and more important outlets-it will be your love towards others! Really, if you've really accepted God's Love for You, and grasped it, and joined part in it- one of your responses to that will be loving others. You won't be able to hold back from loving, giving love, showing genuine affection to people-EVERYONE. Anything they do, how they act, who they are-it won't prevent your heart from totally LOVING them!
See-If you give no love, it's because you haven't recieved any. For what CAN you give of that you haven't recieved?
If you're easily loving on others, it's because Christ has completely filled and immersed You with His own. Because remember, in Max Lucado's book, He said this-
"His Love-if you will let it-can fill you & leave you with a love worth giving."
& this is my case-it has been so easy for me to love people and embrace them as brothers and sisters (saved or not), but it's only because I have experienced God's Love for me. I've accepted it, lived in it, swam in it. God's Love has changed my heart & my vision.
Thankyou Jesus-for your unfailing, deep love for me.
You are SO amazing. Thankyou also, for finally showing me how to love people. Love is such a great great gift to be able to give! and I am, because you loved me first. THANKYOU!
I'm giving God ALL praise for this.
