1 John 4:11

Inspiration
The Apostle John exhorts believers to love one another, for love is from God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. By this, we can recognize who are the children of God and those who are not. The love that is displayed by believers toward one another is a manifestation of God's love, for God is love. John encourages believers to continue in this love for one another, knowing that it is from God and will bear witness to the world. Throughout time, the Triune God has demonstrated His infinite love for humanity in the past, present, and future - for His nature is immutable. This love is beyond the feeble expression of man's love and is so profound that He sent His one and only Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. The boundless love of our eternal God extends into the never-ending future, beyond what our human senses can imagine or comprehend. For those who love Him, He has prepared unimaginable glories that surpass anything we have seen or heard. Let us choose to love others with the same divine love, which will bless those around us and bring glory to our beloved Lord and Savior.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for the love that You have poured out on me. Help me to always remember that Your love is not just a feeling or an emotion, but it is an action. May I always seek to love others as You have loved me, not only with my words but also with my actions. Help me to be patient, kind, and forgiving towards others. And may Your love flow through me to touch the lives of those around me, for Your glory. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
