Love

7 June 2011

Romans 5:8 But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

If you love me, you will know me. So often we think that we know people and love them, but there are things about them that we do not know, or things that they keep from us. When we see them for who they are and even though we may not know everything the parts that we do know we treasure and love them because of that. So in all of us we have our good side and our bad side, and when a person knows this and still chooses to love us, what a joy it is.

So usually the people that love you are the people that knows you, and they know you as much as you will allow them to. The more they know about you the less you have to hide and the more honest you can be with them and even more so with your self. Actually I think you are very lovable, and I also think that you love to be loved. The problem is that love makes us vulnerable and the more vulnerable we are the more defensive we become. The beauty of love is that we need not be, when we allow honesty to dominate our relationships that are built on the foundation of trust.

The same applies with our relationship with Jesus, if we claim to love Him, we also claim that we know Him and what pleases Him. In the same way He loves us, because He knows us, and even then He still loves us.

Be encouraged today to get to know those who love you.

David
