We love him, because he first loved us.
Devotional
As human beings,
- we like to think of ourselves as the center of our universe.
- We determine the greatness or validity of most deeds based on their impact upon us.
- We consider ourselves great adventurers, inventors, and investigators.
However, in the most important quest of all, we did not act first; God did.
- He loved us sacrificially.
- He loved us personally.
- He loved us first.
- Our love is a response to His grace.
- Our love is simply sharing with others what has been lavished upon us.
- We love because he loved us first.
Prayer suggestions
- Ask God to help you to remember His great love for you when you am faced with temptation, led to doubt His love, or wonder about your worthiness.
- Ask God to help you to reflect His love continually in your daily life
- Thank God for loving you first.
