Good morning!! So today I was reading in 1John chapter 4. I love 1 John 4 because its all about love and more so, its about God's love to us and for us. Verse 16 says this: "We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them" Verse 17 continues on to say "And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect....." I asked myself today "Do I live in love? Does every being of me love people? Do I act as though I love people.. truly? Because if I don't, then does God live in me?" Ultimately our goal as Christians should be to grow, to not be stagnant or constant. If we live God, which is living in love (according to verse 16) then our love will GROW more perfect which means that we are growing toward perfection.
I have a dear friend who tattooed the word "LOVE" on her side to remind her that love fixes so many problems and that if people just loved more, the world would be a better place. I believe that she is 100% right and she has a desire to live in love. She is one of the most forgiving and loving people I have ever met. Regardless of the way people have treated her, she still loves them. I love that about her and strive to be like that.
I urge you today to go and live in love so that you may live in God and He in you!
Blessings!!
