Love

"We love because He first loved us" (1 John 4:19)


What is love all about?
Love is a feeling beyond just a like. When you love a person, you would sacrifice whatever you need juz for him/her. Everyone want and need to live in an environment that is filled with love. Just imagine, if u come to an environment that is filled of anger, no love, sadness, what u feel... i believe you will feel uncomfortable, and if possible u juz wants to stay away from all that rite?

In 1 John, Bible said "We love because God first loved us. We began to love and know how to love, because we experience and learnt how to love... The reason God wants us to love is because He is love, and He had created us in His own image, so that we can be like him—to love. The only reason we're able to love is because God loves us: "Love comes from God...because God is love" (1 John 4:7-8).

We were created by God in His own image to do two things on earth, which are Learn to love God, and learn to love other people. Life is all about love.

But love is all started with God. He first loved us and that so He gives us the ability to love others. The only reason we can love God or love anybody else is when us experience the love of God, who He first loved us. And He shower us with the love by sending Jesus Christ, His only begotten son, to the earth to die for us. He showed that love by creating us. He showed that love by everything we have in life; it's all a gift of God's love.

In order to love others and to become great lovers, we first need to understand and feel how much God loves us. We don't want to just talk about love, read about love, or discuss love, but don't even know what is the real love. we need to experience the love of God.

We need to reach a day when we finally, fully understand how God loves us completely and unconditionally. We need to become secure in the truth that we cannot make God stop loving us.
Once we're secure inside God's unconditional love, we'll start cutting people a lot of slack. We won't be as angry as we've been. We'll be more patient. We'll be more forgiving. We'll be more merciful. We'll give others grace.

But you cannot give to others what we have not received yourself, and so my hope is that, as we learn how much God loves us, we'll also let Him heal our heart so that His love can flow freely through us. It's impossible to love others until wereally feel loved yourself.
