1 John 4:19 (NIV)
19 We love because he first loved us.
As human beings, we like to think of ourselves as the center
of our universe. We determine the greatness or validity of most deeds based on
their impact upon us. We consider ourselves great adventurers, inventors, and
investigators. However, in the most important quest of all, we did not act
first; God did. He loved us sacrificially. He loved us personally. He loved us
first. Our love is a response to his grace. Our love is simply sharing with
others what has been lavished upon us. We love because he loved us first.
Thought for today:
Is my love pure or does it have terms and conditions?
