Final Thoughts on Love

Final Thoughts on Love


After thinking about love for so long, I find myself wanting. I have learned that there are areas where I need more lessons and more experience in God styled love. I find that I am amateur at best when it comes to love. I now realize that I have been taking baby steps into something that has been unknown and mysterious for far too long.

I have learned that love, in God’s style, is hugely improbably if not impossible unless His Holy Spirit causes it to happen. I have learned that it is a gift to us from the one that created love and us. I have gleaned the idea that God’s type of love does not have an expiration date. I see that love is not merely a kind gesture, but a command. Love acts as an ID tag so that others will know we belong to God. Love is a GPS device that has only one destination; the Father. Love is the stuff that activates the gifts of the Holy Spirit and it is all-consuming. In fact, love is knitted into our very DNA. It is what we were meant to do, receive, and be.

But you know what is most awesome about love? To me, the grooviest thing about love is that we were designed to be objects of God’s love. What greater gift can you think of? What can you think of that would compare to being the object of your Heavenly Father’s affection? And He longs to pour His adoration out on us in abundance. Do you believe that? You should, for he sent his son to a cross just to do one thing, make us objects of His affection.

Jesus loves me. This I know, for the Bible tells me so. Amen, Lord and help me to ALWAYS know that truth. Amen!
