As the relationship with the Lord became more and more intimate, I found that the sour taste faded quietly, but I slowly tasted what true love in the Lord was and realized the unconditional love of the Lord Jesus. The touch in my heart is full of the beauty of the Holy Spirit, sweeping away the feeling of depression.
People love a person because seeing his cuteness, or more simply, can bring benefits to themselves. People's love is conditional, and we will be uneasy. Therefore, in conditional love, we may not be willing to pay, but with the fear of loss.
Even if we betray God, he still loves us. God loves a group of people who contradict and despise him. Their identities are self-centered "sinners". God is obviously unlovable, isn't he great enough to love?
The Lord is fearless, and the love of the Lord is fearless, because God is always with us. He deeply understands any of our thoughts and ideas, sees our dark side thoroughly and still gives us unconditional love. I have the love of the Lord Jesus, what more can I ask for in this life? He will always be the first in my life, because his love is irreplaceable by anyone and anything in the world.
When I was reading the book Reconciliation with the Years yesterday, a passage touched my heart:
I hope I need a specific thing, such as a car, a house, a promotion, getting rich and so on. Hope is open, based on the belief that others will keep their promises. Hope is like a church bell in a snow-covered field.
Marriage based on hope will be in constant crisis, but marriage based on hope will be open and full of possibilities. Because what matters is the partners themselves, not what they can do or have.
Whenever we have to give up a desire, change the direction of life or set a new goal in life, whenever we lose a friend, destroy a relationship and start a new plan, we have the opportunity to broaden our horizons and touch the deep hope under the surface of the waves of hope every day.
When hope breeds, we gradually understand that our value lies not only in our achievements, but also in who we are. It seems useless, but it is a winner in life.
Who can comfort a sad person, like an old man who still treats the world gently after vicissitudes? Although they are inconvenient to move and can no longer make much contribution to society, they have injected vitality into people's withered hearts. They are old but full of strength, which is the grace of the Lord.
I think people's love is less than one tenth of the Lord's. When we understand the love of the Lord, our ability to love others will improve. As the Bible says, "We love because God loved us first".
Only by knowing the source of love can we grasp true love. Every day with the Lord Jesus is Valentine's Day. Hallelujah.
