Love was God’s idea. It’s what compelled Him to create us (and everything else). The very best way to make sense of this life; and be ready for eternity when you leave this world to the next, is to embrace the love of God.

I John 4:7-12–Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

PRAY: Thank God that He is the embodiment of love. Thank Him for calling you into a relationship with Him so that you can know love. Thank God for Jesus. Now, ask God who He has for you to love, and ask Him to love that person well through you–especially if it's someone you might not like loving. Commit yourself to loving God and people well.

Congratulations. You made it.
