Read 1 John chapter 4

VERSE:

1 John 4:19–We love because he first loved us.

TRUTH:

This verse explains both the why and the how of love. Why do we love others? We love because he first loved us. How do we display love to others, even when they seem unloveable? God loves us first and through His living in us, He is able to love others through us. Because of God, we are both loveable and able to love.

RESPONSE:

Father, You loved me, even when I was in the midst of sin. You love me still. Every single day I am a part of Your wonderful love. I will praise You and lift You up. I will allow You to love others through me because You first loved me.
