1 John 4:19 (NKJV) 19 We love Him because He first loved us.
The most important thing we can do in this life is follow the verse above and truly fall in love with our God. Fall in love with our Creator, our Lord, our Provider, our Healer, our King of kings and our Savior, Jesus Christ.
What do we mean by falling in love?
Some of us might not even know what love really is. Maybe some of us have never been loved the way we should have been. And the love we think we know isn’t love at all.
Jesus is our example of LOVE.
Jesus’s love for us is true love. He loves us so much that He gave Himself for us. Literally. That’s right. He died a cruel death for you and for me.
And while He was here, He served us. He healed us. He clothed and fed us. He delivered us from demonic attacks. He protected us from our enemies. He made a way for us to have a relationship with Him. And He made us a home in Heaven for when it’s our time to leave this place.
This love is for us all.
Go after Him. Find Him. He will teach us how to love like this as we walk in a relationship with Him.
A relationship takes two people, talking to each other, hearing each other, serving each other, respecting each other, caring for each other. We go the extra mile for each other. Even unto death. These are all things we will do when we truly love.
Start a relationship with our beloved Jesus Christ. Everything else around us will fall into place, one piece at a time. We will learn how to love and deal with things accordingly.
Our words will be tempered, our anger, unforgiveness and bitterness will eventually go away. Our cares will be more for others than for ourselves. We will handle ourselves differently and our situation will change for the better.
Focus on falling in love with Him first. He will work out all the other details over time.
