Cross the Bridge Daily Evotionals 19th March 2021, Friday Message By Pastor David McGee
Topic: What Is Love?
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
NKJV
Love – that one word possesses great power. When a couple first releases that word into their vocabulary, it changes the dynamic of their relationship. On the other hand, when someone you care for tells you they no longer love you, it could impact your life for years. Unfortunately, this word has many times been misunderstood. Our world sees love as a souped up version of lust but that’s not what God created love to be, and it’s not the example He has shown us.
1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
NKJV
Love is not morality or religion. It’s not something else to put on your to-do list. Rather, love is our motivation, and it is seen perfectly in our Lord. In short, love is Jesus. In every second of His life on earth, Jesus was love and demonstrated that love. From his healing of the sick and feeding the hungry to His correction of the Pharisees, Jesus’ end goal was love. You could do all the good deeds in the world, but without love, they would be like a string of zero’s – meaning nothing. Jesus loved others because He loved the Father. The same is true with us. As we love our Heavenly Father, we will be able to love others; even those who we feel may not be that lovable.
Dear God,
Thank You for Your love. Because of Your love for me, I have forgiveness of sins and hope of Heaven. Father, fill me with Your Spirit and help me to love like You love. Make me more like Jesus so that I can share Your grace and mercy with those around me. Use me today to show love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
