Love.
So misconstrued and misused. Romance has a place in love, but it is the shallowest form.
LOVE.
The surface has yet to be touched for the majority of mankind.
Love between parent and child.
Love between spouses.
Love between family.
Love between friends.
Love for a stranger.
All glimpses of The LOVE from which it all stems.
All we see are the tips of the branches when the roots extend deep within the ground, leaving the most essential and foundational part unseen. If only the "Love Root" were understood, the "love surface" would be more easily tapped into, its accessibility utilized and relayed.
God does not love us because He created us. He created us because He loves us.
A love that initiated life.
Because of the "Love Root," we are existent.
We are given:
breath, life, movement, depth, thought, soul, emotion, pleasure, care, appreciation, beauty
Such things stem from Love.
How can one even attain such a love for others?
Can we truly even enjoy this life without it?
God Almighty, Alpha and Omega, the initiator of all things, including LOVE, is the demonstrator of such love. He is LOVE.
In our worst, God loves, and He has given us LIFE. It did not stop at the "emotion of love," but continued into the "action of love." While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Death. The ultimate sacrifice. The ultimate expression of love.
Any love we know, any love we give is a mirror image of the love we've received.
LOVE. The depths are unfathomable.
If we understood the length of God's love, we would cease to attempt to love others or love God with the shallow love of humanity but would instead dispose of such loves in exchange for TRUE LOVE: God's LOVE.
If we loved with the love of Jesus Christ, imagine the power.
Imagine the roots that would be reached. Imagine the hearts that would be touched.
LOVE. God's love covers a multitude of sins.
It forgives. It cares.
It is the Love Root. The initiator for meaningful branches.
The key to removal of fear (1 John 4:18).
If only we knew the depths of such LOVE.

"God does not love us because He created us; He created us because He loves us."This quote was shared with me once, and it has always intrigued me.
God does not love us because He created us. He created us because He loves us.

1 John 4:8While we were yet sinners.
"He who does not love does not know God, for God is love."
Romans 5:7-8
"For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
In our worst, God loves, and He has given us LIFE. It did not stop at the "emotion of love," but continued into the "action of love." While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Death. The ultimate sacrifice. The ultimate expression of love.
1 John 4:19Love does not come from us; it comes from Jesus Christ's initiation.
"We love, because He first loved us."
Any love we know, any love we give is a mirror image of the love we've received.
