Embracing the Unconditional Love of God
As a beloved child of God, have you ever stopped to listen to your Father’s heart and His ways for you? In Galatians 5:22-23, 25, we’re reminded that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. This is the essence of God’s character, and it’s available to us through the Holy Spirit.
A Love That Transcends Human Understanding
Romans 5:5 tells us that God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. This love is not limited by our human understanding; it’s a love that knows no bounds. You were created out of your Father’s love, and you are the evidence of God’s love deposited in you in lavish measure. You are not just an “it” – you are a unique individual, crafted with precision and care.
The Faithful Love of Our Infinite Father
Deep within, you are blessed with a larger-than-the-universe love, the faithful love of your infinite Father. This love seeks your highest good, no matter what you do. It’s a love that gives freely, without asking anything in return. You are accepted and affirmed in Him, and His love for you was forever settled on the cross.
A Love That Compels Us
As you bask in the goodness of God’s holy love, you’ll be compelled to love others. You’ll love because He first loved you, and His love lives in you to love through you. This love is not based on emotions; it’s a choice that requires sacrifice. Love must give, whatever the cost.
Displaying the Fruit of God’s Love
As you allow God’s love to flow through you, you’ll display the fruit of the Spirit. Your grace-inspired response to His love will be evident to all. You’ll love with an unfailing love, overflowing with kindness and compassion towards others. God, who is love, lives in you to will and to do it. Be blessed as you let His love shine through you!
