Dare 22

Love is Faithful

Love is the basis for our whole identity; love is what we were created to share.

So what do we do when that love is rejected? Think about what God does when we reject His love – He continues to love us. He showers us with favor without measure though in return we often don’t pay attention. We reject Him in many ways and He still loves us and remains faithful.

I know I have turned my back on God many times. I have gotten mad at Him, yelled at Him, stopped praying to Him, even cursed Him, But He is always there when I see my way clear to go back to Him. And that is the way ideally I choose to love. Love my enemies, do good for those I don’t like, and pray for those who hurt me.

I know there are times when I don’t love this way and it doesn’t feel good, though at the time I think it will – revenge never benefits me. But when I act in love towards those that have harmed me I feel better knowing that I can pray for this person and maybe they will open their heart and let God’s love in.

I can give undeserved love because God gives me undeserved love. I ask Him to fill me with the kind of love only He can provide and then I can give it away. My supply is endless, He continues to pour His love into me so I will always have enough to give away.

Until next time…
