To Love Him As He Loves Us





God is looking for a generation who will take His first commandment seriously; “love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.” We strive hard to love God wholeheartedly, but often we fail because we don't realize, His endless love for us. Only when we comprehend the width, length, depth and the height of His love, are we able to express authentic love sincerely and genuinely. 

Never will there be another soul who will
shower you with unconditional love, like God. Our Father loved you so much that He purchased you with His priceless gift; He gave His best gift to claim you as His. He sacrificed His only begotten Son for you. 

The Bible says,
 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). It says, "For God so LOVED the WORLD that He GAVE His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON"; God did not give His Son to the world out of necessity; He gave His most valuable treasure as a gift to the world, so He can claim us as His priced possession. Next time when you feel lonely, unloved, abandoned, rejected or afraid; just gaze at the cross and you will see "I LOVE YOU" smeared in blood. The world states its love in mere words but God proved His love at the cross through deeds. 

Once we receive a deeper revelation of His love, then we will seek Him sincerely and love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. This aids us to fulfill the second commandment; which is to "love your neighbour as yourself". We strive so hard to love others, but we cannot portray what we do not know. There is a difference between knowing God's love and experiencing His love at an intimate level. We all know that God loves us, but only when we practice His love daily, are we able to love others the way God love us.

Loving others may seem difficult at times; because we portray the image of unlovable, rude and selfish creatures; but that’s not the truth. We are all created in God's image and to say we are made in His likeness is to say that Love is the reason for our existence. For God is Love and Love is God. Let's abide in God's love and let His sweet fragrance resinate through us.
