"... Greater love has no one than this,
that someone lay down his life for his friends. ..." ---Jesus
John 15:13 ESV
Greater love...
I'm so far from this love...
highlighted on these days of expectation...
like Valentine's Day...
Greater love...
Not think about what I want...
lay down... to begin with... expectation...
Lay down my life...
Put aside my desire...
let others choose...
consider them better than me...
Lay down my life...
Convicted recently...
of taking the best for me...
My love...
still needs translating...
into something... greater...
My love...
still learning... to hold a word... that could wound...
receive what's given with grace...
But what I have found... in recent months...
a shift...
a result of His healing...
Learning to rely on His love...
for me...
recognizing Him... as all I need...
Trusting in... relying on... believing in...
His greatest love...
for me...
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us...
1 John 4:16-17 ESV
Do you know... believe... God's love for you...?
Allow Him to begin... healing in you...
translating your love...
into something greater...
