Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. – Ruth 1:16
It isn’t easy to make a commitment to someone it requires love. A love that involves self-sacrifices, trust, and faith in God. In 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 we see, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, Always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. God's standard of love is very high! We need to love God, by honouring God, not self seeking but by willingly making sacrifices for Him, not to be angered even when a prayer is delayed or unanswered, but always trusting Him with hope in Him and persevere....
He loved us with an everlasting love, with an unconditional love…we see in John 3:16 For God so loved the world(let us replace “world" with our name) that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. While we were still sinners Christ died for us (Romans 5:8) God’s love for us is so great that it’s difficult for our feeble human minds to grasp! How deeply God loves us..do we feel worthy of His love?
Heavenly Father, I am unworthy of your love, yet you loved me, I want to learn to extend the same love towards others even when it is hurting, even when it is discouraging, even when it seems undeserving because that how YOU loved me. Let us tell God the difficult aspect of love (as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 13) for us to demonstrate towards others for He can help us overcome it!!
