Many claim to have unfailing love, but a faithful person who can find?” Proverbs‬ ‭20:6‬ ‭

The apostle John wrote “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” (1 John‬ ‭3:18‬)He also wrote “Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.” (1 John‬ ‭4:20‬) To be faithful to our claims of love as God’s children everything must be filtered through love. 

Christian love is an active interest in the well-being of another person. It acts for the benefit of others. According to William Barclay; “Love is the spirit in the heart that will never seek anything but the highest good of its fellow man." When it comes to God, Do not allow competing agendas, hurts, offenses, and others’ opinions to run your life. These tend to quench the flame of love. God wants you and me to keep loving Him. It is out of our love for God that sustains every other form of Love.
