The message today is coming straight out of the book of I John 4:7. It says "beloved let us love one another, for love is from God; and he who loves is begotten of God and is coming to know and understand God and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him(God)."
Look, I know it's hard to love our fellowmen, sometimes family and friends and especially our enemies, but in order for us to get what God has for us we must be able to walk in love, His love most definitely because if we leave it up to ourselves IT WON'T HAPPEN! It's hard walking in love when someone has hurt you, betrayed you, lied on you etc. but walking in love is one of the things that can take all the hurt, pain and disappointments away. I am a living witness to that. Yes, I do still struggle at times, but I have learned to depend on my Creator, my Father in Heaven.
The world looks for something real, something that's concrete or evident for love; often times we look for love and find ways to love instead of looking to God who is love and who can help us to love others as we should. I encourage each of us to know and believe His love for us.
My prayer:
I pray God that you will help each of us to love others, for love does come from You and that you will especially help us to love those who have hurt us in any way. Amen.
