Some of us are so disappointed in what we see as love— even to the point we can’t imagine God’s love.
The problem is—human love is convenient. It’s limited. It’s hormones—it’s emotional. Like eating the wrong thing before you go to bed. It felt good at first—but now? Not so much!
God’s love is eternal—unlimited. It is commitment. God has feelings for us, but his feelings don’t dictate his love. God’s love is based on his decision! His love is deeper and more secure than anything you’ve ever experienced in your life.
So what do we do to make our love a better version? How about if we express God’s love in our human relationships? How about we become that “someone” in the life of another who can look back and say, “I saw God’s love in them!”
“This is what real love is: It is not our love for God; it is God’s love for us. He sent his Son to die in our place to take away our sins. Dear friends, if God loved us that much we also should love each other. No one has ever seen God, but if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is made perfect in us. I John 4:9-12″
