“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.” (John 15:9)
Some people are easy to love—my nephew and niece, for example.
Having a forty-pound monkey on my back during portions of the family hike was in no way a burden because of the love we share. His sweet, never-ending kisses and the time we can spend reading stories in Spanish are precious moments I treasure.
My niece is growing and learning to laugh. Her smiles are infectious and every little thing she does is a delight.
God is not burdened when we place things on His shoulders because of His tremendous love for us. He longs to remind us that we are a part of His eternal love story.
And just as we rejoice in the new things my niece discovers, never tiring of her smiles and snuggles, God never wavers in His infinite love for us.
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:34-35)
Love defines us as God’s disciples.
The more we dwell in His love, the easier it is to extend that love to others.
Not only are you a beloved child of God, but so are His other disciples.
How can you show your Christian sister God’s love for her today? Take a moment to share God’s love story and delight in what God is doing in your lives.
