Blessed
Father,
It
seems the perfect day to talk about all the things love is, as well
as all it is not (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). Yet at the same time
“Perfect love casts out fear” (1John 4:18) comes to mind. As does
John 15:13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay
down his life for his friends.”
Jesus,
You did that for us. “Because of this... our faith and hope can
rest in Him alone” (1Peter 1:21). And Your love rings through in
the very next verse.
“Now
you can have real love for everyone because your souls have been
cleansed from selfishness and hatred when you trusted Christ to save
you; so see to it that you really do love each other warmly, with all
your hearts” (v.22).
Ah,
yes Lord. Make it so that we can learn to love as You would have us
love. I still can't even begin to fathom it.
