Selfless Love (I)

For God SO loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life – John 3:16 [NIV]

Bible Reading: I John 4:19

Love holds life, and life came into existence because of love and fellowship. It was love that made God sacrifice His Only Son – Jesus Christ. Love is sacrificial and it should be the basis of every relationship, fellowship and living. The measure of one’s love for something or someone is determined by how much one can sacrifice or let go in order to have that thing. Love is about making and giving. “For God SO loved that He gave…” what a great concept of love our heavenly Father revealed to us here. The God kind of love states that “love is defined by being selfless, giving and making”.

The truth is this: God has brought your way another opportunity to embrace His love by accepting Jesus Christ into your life for love isn’t complete except the other side embrace the gesture. It is a gift that takes humility to accept for “…whosoever that believes will not perish but have everlasting life”. Accept this gift of life by accepting that you are a sinner, confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, forsaking your evil ways and embracing Jesus. This love you cannot afford to waste on your end. God bless you.

Self-Reflection: Jesus loves me. Have I given my life to him? Do I love him in return?

Prayer: My Father in heaven, thank you for Your love; I know you truly love me and I choose to embrace your love. Help me never to give in to anything fighting for my attention and love over yours in Jesus Name. Amen

Action Point: Make a decision right now for the journey to eternity starts now, accept Jesus Christ today for tomorrow might be too late.

Intercessory prayer: Pray for every household on your street for the salvation of their souls.

Hymn: I am so glad that our Father in heaven

Tells of His love in the book He has given
