God speaks prophecy to His beloved:

Love is what all are seeking, yet little is shown in today’s world. Love for your fellow man or neighbor seems easy – until they offend you. Love for your spouse or family may be joyful on happy days, but becomes stressful and burdensome when challenges arise. My love for you is unconditional and never ending. I love you when you are living for me and obedient, and I love you just as much when you are not. My arms are ever about you, my children. I hold you in my care, I protect you from danger. I feed you when you are hungry, and I love you when you feel unlovable. I know you better than you know yourselves, and yet I love you with a great and burning eternal love.

Look to see my love for you in the pages of my Word. See all I have planned for you when you come home to me. See all I have done to protect my words to you over the centuries. Look to see my care and deliverance for your ancestors and those who stood before this day arrived. All I have done was out of my great love for you, and each one of you are precious in my sight. Yes, particular in the way you receive my love and how you show me yours.

Some sit for hours in prayer for the things I inspire them to pray for. Some do battle in the heavenlies as the war between good and evil rages on. Some love me by serving others and sacrificing their own lives in service. Some do all and great will be their reward. As you come to me in love today, how will you receive my love? Will you read it upon the pages of the Bible or hear it as I speak to you? Will you receive an answer to prayer in the wisdom I speak or a gift I send to you? And how will you love me today? In time, upon your knees? In sacrifice of time, money, or service to my children who need your help? Come to me and be filled with my love and give it out to all in need, my children, for no greater gift exists than to love one another.

Today’s Written Word

John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

I Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

I Corinthians 13:4, 7, 8a NKJV Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

(love) bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

A Word of Encouragement

God loves us without restriction, and without our earning it. He is everywhere, and His eyes are always upon us. Watching over us and caring for us by actively showing His love. Even when we mess up and disobey, He loves us. We are asked to receive His love by spending time with Him, by needing His help and asking for it. Then, once we are filled to overflowing with His goodness, we can show others the love of God. By our prayers for our family and those around us, we love them. By our giving of our time and resources, we love others. Even when we are not shown the love of God by those who profess to be Christians and it is hurtful, we can always receive God’s pure love in abundance, any time we turn to Him.

An Action Item

In my personal prayer time a couple of days ago, God spoke that He considered the sacrifice of our time one of the greatest expressions of love for Him. There are so many pressing matters, tasks, jobs, responsibilities, people, and necessitates to get done every day. We all have long lists of what needs to be accomplished, and sometimes we feel that we are not able to sit with God in prayer and listening, but it is important that we make some time each day for Him. We live for God and He is our top and first priority. He created us to have full sharing with His family. We have nothing to do that is more important than showing Him our love and praise.

I John 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
