WE ARE SO LOVED BY GOD
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
We love each other because he loved us first.
1 John 4:19 NLT
TODAY’S THOUGHT
Pastor Rick Warren tells the story of a man who came into his office saying he was a Christian but didn’t think he was going anywhere in his Christian life. He confessed that he felt stuck in neutral.
Pastor Rick asked the man, “What do you think the problem is?”
The man responded, “I think my problem is I just don’t love God enough.”
Pastor Rick responded, “That’s not your problem. Your problem is not that you don’t love God enough. Your problem is that you don’t understand how much He loves you.”
Pastor Rick this concluded by saying, “Love is always a response to love. “
I have thought on that line for a while. “Love is always a response to love.” When we know that we are loved by God we can then respond to God in love. We can also love ourselves and others because we know we are loved.
People who don’t love people don’t love themselves. They don’t realize they are loved by God. Since they don’t know God’s love for them, they don’t love themselves and therefore they can’t love others.
Today I want you to know that you are so loved by God that He gave His one and only Son to die on the cross for you!
