Believe in Love

Unbelief says, "How can anyone believe in love, when we see so much hatred in this world?" Faith says, "I believe in love, because I believe in God." Remember one word today, that is love. In the midst of an evil world, the greatest thing of all is love. Believe in love, because you believe in God. "God is love" (1 John 4:8).

Believe that God loves you. But, you say, "How could God love me? I'm not worthy of His love." God loves sinners, and He proves it at the cross of Jesus. God loves you, because God is love. It's not about who you are. It's about who God is. "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).

Only God's Spirit can make the love of God a real experience in your heart. People may hear about the love of God, read about it in the Bible, and hear songs about it, without ever experiencing God's love. God's great love for you only becomes real when you experience it in your heart. "The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us" (Romans 5:5).

Remember that God wants you to love others. But, you say, "There are some people that I just can't love." Let God love them through you. The Holy Spirit desires to work through every believer to love others. Only He can love everyone through you. Believe God's love will flow through you to others.
