I feel like God’s infinite and perfect love is such a hard thing to grasp for many. This is one thing that has been on my mind for a while and hopefully will continue to stay on my mind. The thing that really gets me thinking is just how much Jesus loved us to want the full measure of his joy in us. He wanted all those who hears about Him and believes in Him to be brought together in pure unity of His love and glory. The unity that He gives us as believers is the witness to others that this is the type of love that can only be provided from Him and has been made full through the sacrifice that He made on the cross.

Another thought on love and why we MUST love others is the thought of how it’s an endless cycle, one that comes first from God, made full through Jesus which is given to us. We as humans are made in God’s image. This idea for me really means that God created us in his image of beings who love. “…For love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.”-1 John 4:7 Everyone loves something and therefore everyone is born of God. Which is why God loves us so much that the only way for him to bring us back to him was to send his son on earth to die on the cross for us. It’s interesting to think that EVERYONE loves and therefore EVERYONE is born of God. But because of this, we cannot say that we love God without truly loving one another. And because we cannot truly love one another without the help from the love of Jesus Christ, this is what creates an endless cycle of love that goes back from God to us and back up to God. Through the love that God gives to us, we can then love others; through loving others, we then give that love back to God. In no way can we say that love is ever from ourselves. It can only come from God. Which is why I see that God loves us soooo much that he has given us the ability to love in the first place; however, our own love is imperfect and waivers due to earthly reasons, but God’s love is everlasting, unchanging, and pure with no set of reason and value behind it. “God is love.” -1 John 4:16b

Hmmm…confusing but kinda cool at the same time. =T
