Love is what it's all about!!

Do you know that love is intended to flow to us and then through us? It begins with God's love for us and is brought to completion when we learn to love one another. Being able to love is a process that I believe God has put in place, and it involves four steps. First, God gives His love to us. Next, we accept and receive that love. Third, we love God in return. And fourth, we allow God's love to flow through us to other people. Without all four steps, love is incomplete. It all starts with Him, and it begins with the fact that He loves us unconditionally. Then when we realize this fact we have to respond and the only proper response is to receive God's love knowing it's something He freely gives, not something we can earn or in anyway secure for ourselves. His love is in us and it is ours and we will learn that loving not only others but loving ourselves properly is God's will. When we grasp this fact we automatically want to give our love to God. How do we show God our love you might ask? We worship Him with our lives, spend time in His presence, study and honor His Word, pray, praising Him, and giving thanks in all things, and of course the ultimate way to show God just how much we love him is to obey Him. This love perfected in us can't help but to flow out to those around us. The Spirit of God will lead us and prompt us to do things that will demonstrate love to all those who we come in contact with. Even just a soft smile, a kind word, a twinkling eye, a slight touch, and even a silent prayer. Who will you love on today? Just decide that every day, once a day, you will pick someone to give God's kind of love to! xoxox
