We have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love.
1 John 4:16
I was standing in the open door someone passes by, a lovely voices i heard commanded shake by hand it seem to me a great motto for relationships: received love, give love: Repeat.
The greatest love that we receive is the love of God. He love us so much that He gave His Son Jesus to live, die, and rise again to redeem us (1 John 4:9). We receive his love when we received Jesus as our Savior and Lord, "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believed in His Name
(John 1:12).
After we've experience God's love, we then can learn to give love. "Let us love one another, for love of God” (1John 4:7).
God's love enables us to love our brothers and sisters in Christ. We teach, encourage, and rebuke. We weep and rejoice. The love we give is tender and tough and supportive. We are taught by Jesus even to love our enemies: " Do good to those who hate you, and pray and for those who spitefully use you and persecuted you";(Matt. 5:44). Giving love to others can be challenging in some situations but it's possible because of the love God has first given to us.
A good plan for our lives today: Receive love, Give love. Say it and repeat.
