1 John 4:19

He Loved Us First

Verse

We love because he first loved us.

Thought

We love because he first loved us. Love is always a response, never the beginning. He started. You may answer.

Truth & Application

Truth: Your love for God and others is always a response to his love. He loved first. You respond. That removes the pressure, you do not have to produce love, just receive and pass it on.

Today practically: Live from this truth today.

Prayer

Father, thank you for loving first. Today I respond with love. Not from duty but because I am loved. Amen.
