Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another (John 13:33–35, KJV).
Jesus gave us a new commandment that was nothing like anything else we’ve ever known. He wanted us to love. We have our own ideologies of what love is, but Jesus wanted us to love in a way that He defined.
Paul explained God’s love in Ephesians 3:16–19. We cannot measure and define God’s love by our standards. God’s love is bigger, greater, deeper, etc. than anything else in our life.
Human love has limits; even with our best intentions, our love can fall apart when circumstances arise. Our love is shallow because we love per conditions. We are afraid to expose our love to anyone who won’t receive it or who won’t respond to it. God’s love doesn’t have limits and it’s never-ending. It doesn’t matter what we have done, God will love us (Jeremiah 31:33–34). God is not driven by emotions like our human natures. He has chosen to love us.
We need to jump into the flowing love of Jesus Christ. The more that we walk into His love, the deeper it will get. Jesus will cast our iniquities into the sea (Micah 7:19) if we just turn to Him and embrace His love. There isn’t anything His love cannot cover.
God’s love is real. It’s not just a concept—it is Him! God is love (I John 4:8). His love was a sacrifice and is a love without limits. We cannot find this love in the world, but we can find love in Him. Culture, trials, people, nor the devil can take this love from us (Romans 8:39).
God’s love is everything to us and it’s easily spread because God’s love is abundant. We cannot love like Him until we get His love inside of us. God will infuse us with an ability that we do not have in ourselves. His love will be poured out on us by the Holy Ghost (Romans 5:5). Let’s get ahold of the love of God today, internalize it, and then spread it to the world.
