When we think of love the first thing comes to mind is good feelings. But real love does not dependent on feelings. It is about so much more than how we feel about someone. Real love is selfless, sacrificial, and unconditional and it has no price on it. You may have learned from experience that what our world calls love often comes conditionally. If we mess up, it’s gone. If we don’t pay the cost, it evaporates. Jesus taught his disciples about love: Love is like a communicable disease, transmissible from person to person like when Christ first loved us; which in return made us love Him. Although we had not come in direct contact with the Lord, His love is so strong that just by reading or hearing the Word spread that same love to us.
Father, You are a Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in Your love, wisdom. power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth. Lord, Your love is long-suffering and kind. Your love, unlike ours, does not envy, take pride in self, does not boast, and think no evil, wickedness, or unrighteousness. Lord, thank You, for allowing us to share the characteristic of love. Father, whoever does not love does not know You, because You are Love. Lord, Your love is best seen in Your grace, forgiveness, and Christ. Lord You, died for love. You lived entirely without sin, yet You walked up a hill in Israel over 2,000 years ago and sacrificed Your life to save ours from God’s wrath the punishment we deserve for our rebellion. Father, You have demonstrated Your love for us, while we were still sinners and we are so grateful, in Jesus name Amen
