For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. Ephesians 5:8 NKJV

Love Accelerates

Do you really know how much you’re loved by the only One who really matters? His name is Jesus Christ, and the Bible says in Zechariah 2:8 that whoever touches you “touches the apple of His eye.” Just so you know, that is the pupil, or “untouchable” part of the eye.

Jeremiah 29:11 says that when God thinks about you, His thoughts are of peace and plans to bring you to “an expected end” – a certain outcome or specific plan for your life. Wow!

Revelation 1:6 says that when God sees you, He sees you as a King or Priest. Yes, Daddy calls you royalty! If He has a wallet, your picture is in it! If God’s got a refrigerator, your accomplishments are displayed all over it!

You see, God likes to embarrass the devil by bragging on you the way He bragged on Job. He sees you through the eyes of love. In spite of this, you can’t really love other people until you truly understand how much God loves you. The greater your revelation of His love, the greater your capacity to demonstrate it for others.

Evangeline Booth, daughter of the founder of the Salvation Army, had a real knowledge of the Jesus-kind of love. As she sat in a filthy slum cleaning the sores of a drunk woman, a friend said to her, “I wouldn’t do that for a million dollars.”  Amazingly, Evangeline Booth replied, “Neither would I.”

That’s what love is all about. That’s the way Jesus loves you.

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. – 1 John 4:7

Grounded in Faith

Declare!

I never knew love until I knew Jesus.  Now I am filled with His Spirit and He guides me to love others. It is an incredible privilege to live with Him and walk in His love.
