God’s love in us is a gift, but it must be developed before it will help us deal with the pressures we face in every day life. God’s love doesn’t increase in us by merely trying harder or holding our negative feelings inside. Instead, love grows as a result of entering His presence. The key …
What motivates our decisions? Do we react in an effort to protect ourselves from the hurts and actions of others — whether they are remembered or anticipated? Do we respond to the circumstances that come against us from the outside? Or does God’s gift of unconditional love burn within the very core of our being? …
How do we distribute our love? Jesus indicated we distribute the God-kind of love by giving away our greatest riches. One of the greatest examples of this love is found in the story of the good Samaritan. When Jesus gave this example, He was responding to a question from an insincere lawyer regarding what he …
Can we truly say we are patient and kind as the Bible describes love? Or do we bark and bite at people like a junkyard dog, all the while justifying ourselves as we do? It is easy to justify nearly any action. We can let our anger and temper flare with a sense of total …
When we look at God’s covenant love we must not forget to include First Corinthians 13:4-8: “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, …
We can tap into the deep, rich reservoir of God’s love residing within us even when people rub us the wrong way. Love is a force much more powerful than human emotion. The God-kind of love is the most powerful force in existence. It’s even more powerful than any force known in the physical realm. …
Always remember, the focus of the New Testament is not on our love for God as much as it is on our coming to know the love He has for us. His love in us will drive out fear and every fear-fed issue in our lives. Consider the various things in life that are driven …
Typically, the way people love one another is very different from God’s love. Natural love is conditional. A person usually has to meet someone’s expectations in order to be loved. Then later the recipient of natural love needs to requalify — and requalify again. In fact, in order to be loved by some people, a …
There was something very different about the Apostle John. He was the youngest of all of Jesus’ disciples, but a quality lay deep within John that set him apart from all the other disciples. We can see that difference at the Last Supper and again at the foot of the Cross as Jesus hung in …
What we constantly think about is a sign of what we love. King David said, “O how I love Thy law! It is my meditation all the day” (Psalm 119:97). David loved God’s Word. That’s why he thought about it day and night. It’s not that he had nothing better to do. He was the …
