Love

1 John 3:1-2 (MSG) What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we're called children of God! That's who we really are. .... But friends, that's exactly who we are: children of God. And that's only the beginning. Who knows how we'll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we'll see him—and in seeing him, become like him.

When we see Him, we become like Him.

I do not see Him unless I seek Him and as I seek Him I find Him in all sorts of places.

It starts in the heart, a desire to know Him. He puts it there. Sometimes we don't even recognise that desire as it presents itself as a discontent with all we know and a desire for more.

He is like a lover who sees one He desires and pursues us. His love is foreign to us until we begin to sense His presence.

He woos us, courts us, draws us to Himself. He is patient, so patient, with us because he loves.

His love is not fickle, it is pure and undefiled. His love is beautiful, full of restoration, rest and peace.

In DivorceCare I see all sorts of 'love'. It is full of self-gratification, it is selfish and does not lay itself down for anyone. Christ's love is full of sacrifice, His own.

His love is safe and can be trusted. Try it today! Amen!
