The word love is used to mean many different things. We say we “love” this house house we just bought, or that we “love” a particular vacation spot, or that “we” love a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. We also “love” a certain television program, and we “love” our husband or wife. Hopefully we don’t love our spouse the same way we love a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
The greatest love of all, however, is GOD’s love for us. A love that showed itself in action. A friend once observed, “Love talked about is easily ignored, but love demonstrated is irresistible.” The Bible says, “GOD demonstrates HIS own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8) Now, that is real love! How will you respond to HIS love today?
Teach me to love as YOU love, LORD. Give me the boldness to bring YOUR light into dark places and the compassion to carry YOUR beauty to broken people. May my life be evidence of YOUR irresistible love.
