We all have a need to love and be loved. Many flower shops and candy stores see their revenue go up just because of this need within each of us. Every February, commercials flood the airwaves to remind us of our duty as husbands. What do you do for your wife, obviously if you are married, for Valentine's day?
My wife is lucky to get anything from me before Valentines Day. I wait until the day after and get it 50% off. While most people have moved on, I'm expressing love to my wife and saving money at the same time. I hope she finds it as romantic as I do. Giving is an act of love and it doesn't matter when you give it.
God gave something very precious to us to show us how much He loved us. He sent His Son to live here and to die for us. Read about it in I John 4:7- 21 or click to view http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+John+4%3A7-21&version=NIV (Click back arrow on web browser to return)
The kind of love that God showed us is different than we are used to. We understand romantic love and brotherly love. But we have no idea what Divine love is all about.
This is the kind of love He came to give us. This kind of love is unconditional, unselfish, and sacrificial. We would never know this kind of love unless God showed it to us first. That is how special this kind of love is.
And when you exprience this kind of love, John writes that your heart will be complete. His love is totally satisfying.
So how do I experience this kind of love? By surrendering your heart to Jesus. By asking Jesus to forgive you of your sin and live in your heart. When you believe it and tell it to Jesus, the Bible says the Holy Spirit will come and live in your heart and you will know first hand the Divine love God wants you to have.
Do you have this divine love? Surrender to Jesus today.
As you close: Thank God for His Divine love and ask Him today who you can share that love with.
God Bless!
