Because He First Loved Us

1 John 4:19 "We love him, because he first loved us."

Could it be any more simple? Could it be any more beautiful? He loves us! His love for us predates our very existence, yet it was always there. A fierce, unrelenting love, that will never stop.

As Paul says, in us, in our flesh, there is no good thing. Love is the greatest thing. Therefore, we know that it did not come from within ourselves. God's love is so big, so powerful, that it creates more love. That is the kind of love with which we are called to love our brothers and sisters, our neighbors, our spouses, our enemies. But most importantly, God.

Take today to just dwell on God's eternal love.
