My friends, God so loved us that He gave His only Son, Jesus to be the Savior of the world. Through our confessed belief in His death, burial, and resurrection from the dead, we obtain salvation.
He showed love to us and taught us how to love others properly. He loved us even when we were not so lovely. Then even after when we said “No” the 1st time, He still pursued us and never gave up on us.
The apostle John said this about love in, 1Jn 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
He doesn’t say, not to tell someone they are loved. But the contrast is, don’t just say I love you or we love you and leave things like that. Instead, show people the love you have, with the kindness and grace God has given you and by the life you live.
Show this same type of love today, not just by your words but by your deeds, as well. Be blessed in all you do!
