TODAY’S DEVOTION.OVERFLOW LOVE.
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE. ”If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.” (Luke 6:32 NIV)
If you only love on and off like a light switch, you do not love others in the manner God wants you to love. Jesus said, “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?” His point is simple: Anyone can love those who love them. Becoming an overflow lover means learning to love the unlovable. It’s when you love people who don’t love you, when you love people who irritate you, when you love people who stab you in the back or gossip about you.
This may seem like an impossible task, and it is. That’s why we need God’s love in us, so we can then love others: “We know and rely on the love God has for us” (1 John 4:16 NIV).When you realize how much God loves you with an overflowing ,extravagant, irresistible and unconditional love, then His love will change your entire focus on life. If we don’t receive God’s love for us, we’ll have a hard time loving other people. I’m talking about loving the unloveable, loving the difficult, loving the irritable, loving people who are different or demanding.
You can’t do that until you have God’s love flowing through you. You need to know God’s love so it can overflow out of your life into others. Love must become your lifestyle or habit. But it starts with a decision. Your life is of far more worth than you think and by learning to love others with the love God gives, you will have an influence far greater than you could ever imagine. If you will commit to this, you will experience love as God meant it to be, filled with hope, energy and joy.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Help me Lord to exhibit your overflowing love to everyone I come across and cause it to grow daily in Jesus Name. Amen
