Love | Continually Seeking Him

and you shall love the Lord your God — Mark 12:30

The commandment is to love the Lord, our God. How can we possibly love God who is love? (1 John 4:8) We could not even come close to measuring up to His love. We are incapable of loving God on our own. We need the help of the Master. With salvation comes the Spirit of God living in us. The love of God living in us enables us to love Him. We can love Him because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19) And if we love Him we will keep His commandments — to love the Lord, our God.
John 14:15 “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

1 John 4:8 The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

1 John 4:19 We love, because He first loved us.

Are not five sparrows sold for two cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows. Luke 12:6-7

When I think about sparrows and how small they are and how I just take them for granted flying free, and then think about the God who made them, so BIG and Powerful, I am blown away with how He cares for them. They have no worry of food or shelter – God provides all they need. God considers them valuable and worth providing for. How much more are we valuable to Him. Yet, we fret and worry about how our needs will be provided. He cares and knows us so well that He is aware of the number of hairs on our head. We have nothing to fear because we are valuable to God. As this Sunday we commemorate the Sanctity of Life, know that you are loved and valued by your Creator. He cares for you and desires an intimate relationship with you. Come to the One who values, cares, and loves you.

Continually seeking Him,
