A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
John 13:34
Loving people. That's what it's all about in life Whether it's the beggar on the street or a resident of a affluent neighborhood in suburbia, people want to know one thing that they are loved. They are starving for it.
Sadly, the modern church often flounder s in sharing the love of God with those around us for one simple reason: we don't fully understand how much we are loved by Him. Only when we understand that our lovableness isn't because of our performance but because of Christ in us will we feel the love of God for us. God doesn't love you in spite of you. He loves you because of Jesus and what He has done in you by making you a new creation. You aren't unlovable, because Christ, who is your life, is completely lovable! Nobody is able to effectively express God's love to others until they have embrace His love for themselves. You must see yourself as a dear child of God who is dearly loved by Him. Having seen that, you become motivated to share it.
