What’s Love Got To Do With It?

Well, I’m glad you asked! And no, I’m not talking about Tina Turner (good song, though!). In our culture today so many people are confused about what love is. We love pizza, movies and sports but we also love our friends or spouse. If we look to the bible we see God’s definition of love.  1 Corinthians 13 tells us that “love is patient and kind. It does not envy, nor boast. It is not proud. It is not rude. It does not seek its own way, is not easily angered, and keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not rejoice in evil, but rejoices in the truth. Love believes, hopes and endures. Love never fails.”

This is how God responds to us and this is how we should respond to the people in our lives — with patience, kindness, hope, humility and love. Scripture tells us that God is love, and His character never changes. 1 Corinthians 13 ends with, “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE”

Today I want you to understand that God loves you with an everlasting love. He promises that He will never leave you nor forsake you. He has a good plan for your life. Ask for His help to develop this gift of seeing others the way He sees them and responding in love because He is love. Receive His perfect love and let Him transform you from the inside out so that you can experience  the fullness of the blessings He designed for you.
