The Road of...Love

The Road of Love.

     Lord, on this journey help me to understand your Love, so that I can demonstrate your gracious Love to the world around me. I am blessed by the immeasurable amounts of  Love that the Father lavishes on me, but I somehow fail to share that with others.....this is where I have majorly messed up. If my cup is overflowing with His Love how can I not also bless others by it?! 

"In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another." 
1 John 4:10-11


    This verse so clearly lays out the foundation for our necessity to Love one another! God sent His son as the propitiation (or sacrifice) for our own selfish sins and did this because he Loves us, so we must therefore pay it forward and Love others.

"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30 

    This verse so clearly shows God's love in a tangible way. When have you been tired? Weary? We all have, Jesus Christ can restore your tired and broken body, give you strength. All we need to do is go to Him. 

    These verses are only some of the many that show God's Love for His creation. From these we can pick out key points as to how we can live out Love. 

1.Love one another, for real.
2.Show the Love in a tangible way.
3. Give Love through the gospel.
