And this is LOVE....
Today I read 1 John chapter 4 with my children. It was our bag for today. When I set this plan I had no idea what the day would bring. But God is love. Not God shows love or gives love. He does this, but the more important understanding is He IS Love. (v.8) We can love because He first loved us. The greatest demonstration of this love was in the gift of His Son, Jesus. God put on human flesh to sacrifice Himself to rescue humanity. To rescue me. He IS Love. We are to be a sponge. We are to absorb who the person of love is. It is not an action or a feeling, it is a who. In order to give love we have to receive love. The love we receive from God is not to hoard or to just enjoy for ourselves but to give into the lives of others. Soaking Love in and squeezing Love back out. Today started rough. It came at the end of a long, hard week of a long, hard month of a long, hard year. I am tired. I am ready for a break. I am missing my husband who is traveling for work this
