*Living in God’s Love*
God is a compassionate friend. He listens. He empathizes. He cares so much for us, and is kind in His responses. In fact, God does more than just show love—He is love. It is impossible for Him to be anything else because love is His very essence. His love is pure. It isn’t selfish, disengaged, bitter, resentful, or passive. We can trust this kind of love. We can trust God.
In *1 John 4:16,* we find a beautiful reminder of what life with God is like: *"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them."*
How do you feel after you’ve spent time with a good friend? Maybe you feel more relaxed, you have a spring in your step, or you find that you have more courage to keep going. You might even find yourself loving others better because you feel so loved. The ripple effect of living in God’s love is just like this and more. You can’t help but love others when you know and experience how much God loved you.
This is the life we are invited to. A life that knows and relies on the love God has for us, and then loves others because of it.
When we know and experience the love God has for us, everything changes.
*Connection With God*
Father God, Your love is amazing. Thank You for modeling how to love people well—we want to do our best to follow Your example. Your love has changed us. Help us to lead others to Your transformative love. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen.
