The BEST LOVE

How many have wondered "when will I find true love?" I have big news--I found mine!! Jesus Christ. There is love of family, friends, and spouses in the world but the best love is not of the world. It is the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 

*Jesus died for each and every sin that would ever be committed. He loved us before we loved him and now it is our time to use our life to love Him back. Also we must love our brethren just as Jesus loved us. That seems so hard sometimes because we may not agree with our brethren all the time and we may not get along with everyone but Jesus didn't choose who He loved and was slain for. He was crucified for EVERYONE- rich man, poor man, weak man, strong man, boy, girl, man, woman, young, old. We have to be the same and share His love with all the world. You never know who is running out of time to change his/her lifestyle, so be a witness to everyone. You just might help cause a change in someone.

Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? [37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. [39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

*Satan will try and stop us from continuing in the love of Christ, but no outside force can separate us from the best love we could ever imagine. "We are more than conquerors!!!" How amazing is that thought?? As long as we stay strong and continue to serve the Lord will all of our heart, mind, and strength--nothing can turn us away. But there will be times that someone will find another worldly "love" such as money, pride, pleasure, or even fear that we get so obsessed with that we may neglect true love. It is just like in any other relationship you have in the world. If you cheat on your boyfriend/girlfriend with another boy/girl then they are going to be hurt and you will have to apologize and rebuild that trust before your relationship is going to be back to that same level again. Just like Christ. If we "cheat" on Christ with Satan and his worldly items then we will have to repent and rebuild that trust before we are on the same pathway again.

Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

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

This little Sunday school verse that we often sing has so much meaning behind it—

Oh, how I love Jesus,

Oh, how I love Jesus,

Oh, how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me!

Thank You Jesus for giving your life for me. Thank You for not allowing any outside force to stop your love. Thank you for being closer to me than a brother. I thank you for all that you have done and are doing for me.
