It is an incredible thing to be loved.
It is even more wonderful to have the experience of that love.
There is a love that deepens with the passing years. It passes every test and withstands the hottest flames and the deepest waters.
This love is not weakened by a lack of attention or even rejection.
The love experienced by the Believer is the result of the touch of the resurrected Lord and it flows out in power when the Holy Spirit is given free reign in the heart.
Christianity is not about love - it is about Jesus. But the evidence of His Presence in the heart is love that seeks a target.
Soldier of The Cross, He loves us through one another.
He loves us by allowing the hard things.
He loves us by insisting that we walk by faith.
He loves us by making us wait.
He loves us in the display of nature.
He has given us His Word, full of assurances and many Promises.
His love is not propelled by feeling, although it is certainly experienced. There is a momentum to His Love that is directed eternity's way. His Love flows from obedience and becomes a way of life that manifests itself in the JOY formula -
Jesus first,
Others next,
You last.
No one feels explosive love all the time, but there are those who can be counted on to talk about Him, sing about Him and reflect Him by service to the Body of Christ and by selfless living.
He wants to love through us.
He must be allowed to change us.
