As a Pastor, I have heard many say that they pray God will give them the grace to love like Jesus. So many times, instead of accepting our responsibility as Christians, to grow our love commitment, we want God to do all the work in our spiritual growth and development. We expect Him to supply more of His love, which He already provided. It's really our responsibility to see to it that we develop our love so it can grow and increase.
Also on the subject of love, too many believers are like the servant with one talent as described in Mathew 25:14-30, who wrapped up his talent in a napkin and hid it. The same goes for some of us, we have hidden the love of God that has already been shed abroad in our hearts. We've hidden it, instead of using it, exercising it, and developing it.
The more saturated you are in God's Word, the more you will be saturated in His love. When His Love is full inside you, acting based on God's love will be the first thought that comes to your mind, no matter what anyone has done to you. Choose Love always, only owe Love.
Further Scripture Reading: John 14:15; 1 Peter 4:8
Declare This: I declare that the Word of God consumes and saturates my heart completely and I grow in my expression of love to others in Jesus name Amen.
