Valentine’s Day is this week! Invariably, it is the day of LOVE. Amazingly, God has commanded us to love each other. Therefore, we cannot say we love God if we cannot love each other. Certainly, that love loves good people and bad people. It loves friends and foes. Surely, it loves strangers, too. Ultimately, it loves all creatures and things.
This love that God has asked of us is called agape. This is the highest form of love. Furthermore, it is a supernatural love. We know what is like to love in the natural. We love people we know and people we like. However, God asks us to love beyond that. This is why it is supernatural because in the natural we cannot love our enemies. In the natural it is difficult to love people we do not know called strangers.
The Holy Spirit ushers us into the love God has asked us to do. It is a beautiful experience when you cannot look at people you do not know and know you have a God-given love for them. Wonderfully, you care about their well-being and want the best for them. It is humbling when you have a love for your enemy. For people who have hurt you in any form. You know it is the supernatural power of our God that allows you to do this. Thankfully, it is the kind of love Jesus sacrificed his life for us for. It truly is a beautiful love. Love & Blessings!
