God is Love! – Devotional

God is Love! 1 John 4:7

Allow these words to come dwell within you.
Those three words from that verse should be read over and over by every person on earth. If you come to Him in Faith, He will by no means turn anyone away.
I’ve realized that every person on this planet, whether you are in Africa, Asia, Europe, or the USA, needs to know that they are loved, and the Creator of Heaven and Earth has a marvelous plan for their lives! The most beautiful part is that when we receive this love, it overpowers every bit of sin and darkness until there is only light in our beings. We are then free to share it with our families, friends, and the world around us.
It’s as we love each other that we realize we are God’s true children, and that His love is perfected in us (1 John 3:17).
It’s when we are walking in Love, that we are walking as Christ walked and lived.
We need to die to ourselves and let this love be seen, made visible, as we express His love to one another. Because when we are born again, we become ministers of love, demonstrating truth and kindness wherever we go (Ephesians 5:2).
There is not a single more powerful force than love itself! If we, even for a moment, put miracles, prophecy, or even missions above love, we have missed it completely! We can’t afford to have a love for power, but have no power to Love.
I want to encourage every person reading this; allow His Love to come dwell within you. If we don’t have love, we have absolutely nothing, and we can’t say we have true fellowship with Jesus Christ as His true sons and daughters.

“If I were to speak with eloquence in earth’s many languages, and in the heavenly tongues of angels, yet I didn’t express myself with love, my words would be reduced to the hollow sound of nothing more than a clanging cymbal. And if I were to have the gift of prophecy with a profound understanding of God’s hidden secrets, and if I possessed unending supernatural knowledge, and if I had the greatest gift of faith that could move mountains, but have never learned to love, then I am nothing. And if I were to be so generous as to give away everything I owned to feed the poor, and to offer my body to be burned as a martyr, without the pure motive of love, I would gain nothing of value.”
(‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:1-3)
