1 John 4 : 7-12 - Love God and He will Guide You

in #religion6 years ago
 "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we 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 seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us." 

Love, one of the most powerful things of the human mind. Love can make peace, it can stop negativity and help people get together. Love is needed in anyone's life, it unites people, it brings joy and it has a positive effect to people.

God is love, and like the verse says, we are born through Christ to love. We were not born to hate or make war. It's the devil that wants us to turn and get away from each other, and he does that by taking the love away. War is made by hate and jealousy. 

God shows us what love is, for He sent his only son to die for our sins the devil caused us to make, all because he loves us. Love creates the bond, and thus we have to grow our bond with God. By doing that we need to pray and talk to Him. 

The Bible says, love your enemies and bless those who curse of you. Enemies are there to build your foundation, and through your love, God will strengthen you, and keep you on the right path.

Love is willing to put others in front of you.

John 15 : 13 

"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends." 

If you think your love is fading, turn back. God won't feel offended. He will accept your love instantly. In   Deuteronomy 6 : 5 , the word speaks 

 "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength." 

Do not be afraid to love. God is love and he will guide you to love the people in your life. But to love someone else, you need to love yourself and God.

Great encouragement. When I feel weary Loving the unlovable, or at least the frustrating or annoying people God has placed in our lives, I realize that I have loved only in my own strength and not the supernatural unending love of God.

Thanks for sharing your kind words @allforthegood ! God's love is truly unending.

The world needs God. Thank you for this message, God bless you.

True words over there, and thank you @yessicafcp !

The foundation of the world is love. God is love. If we have the love of God in us, truly we become more than conquerors, because the love of God in us, is the presence of God in us.
