1 John 4: 16

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

This week we chose “Our God is Love” by Hillsong.

Take some time and let the words wash over you and praise God that He is love and that God’s love is enduring!

The other day, I was learning about agape love, which is a selfless, sacrificial, unconditional love. I was learning how to love my family and friends in such a way, when the pastor said, “This is how we are to love everyone.” I thought, “I have a difficult time loving my family and friends like this and you want me to extend it to everyone?” The answer was “Yes because God is love.” As you reflect on today’s verse, ask yourself if you love everyone with a selfless, sacrificial, unconditional love. Is there a specific someone or group of people who you struggle to like, yet alone love? God calls us to rely on the love He has for us and to live in love. Today, take a moment to pray and ask God how you can fearlessly love those who you struggle to like.
