1 John 4:10 - In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
You may have tried your best to love God, only to fail miserably. But what is the truth about love? “this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us”. Yes, it is not about our love for Him, but His love for us!
The Bible says that you must love God with all your heart, soul and strength!” How can this happen? We will love Him when we realise how much He loves us. The graces (undeserving) we receive, tell us that God loves us first, not that we love God. (Jn 3:16; Rom 5:8; Eph 2:4-5; 1Jn 3:1; 4:9; 4:19).
God has seen you trying your best to love Him. And because He loves you, He wants you to sit down and be still, and first understand His love for you instead. He loves you unconditionally regardless of who you are or what you have done because His love is not dependent on you but on Himself. He will never stop loving you, because that’s His nature.
Thought for the day!
The more you recognise and comprehend His love and mercy for you, the more you will love Him! God loves you with all that He is and all that He has.
