By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
1 John 3:16
Recommended Reading: 1 John 3:1-3
Through the years, guys have used all kinds of pickup lines to attract girls: “Even if there wasn’t gravity on earth, I’d still fall for you.” “I’m no photographer, but I can picture us together.” “If I could rearrange the alphabet, I’d put U and I together.”
Real love doesn’t need a pickup line. It just picks us up. Remember the hymn that says, “Love lifted me”? The uplift of God’s love enables us to get through the things we’re going through. First John 3:1 says, “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called the children of God!”
Our ability to manage life changes when we realize how much God loves us with a love undiminished by our failures. His love isn’t based on our performance but on the performance of His Son, Jesus. Today, relish in the love of God. In that way, you’ll be encouraged to serve and love others. You’ll pick them up for the Lord!
But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry, from the waters lifted me—now safe am I. Love lifted me! – James Rowe
