God does not just love. He is the Source of love. His manner of loving is not to merely say kind things. God’s love takes action! God so loved the world that he gave . . . God’s love prevents Him from sitting idly by while people are hurting or in need. He must act. His love compels Him to become involved in the lives of those who need Him.
It is impossible to have the epicenter of love residing within you and yet you remain unmotivated to love those around you. When you see someone in need, Christ will be yearning to help. When you encounter people in spiritual darkness, Christ within you will long to shine light upon them. When people are discouraged, the Holy Spirit within you will seek to offer hope. It is God’s nature to act lovingly toward others.
You will have to resist the promptings of the Holy Spirit to not act lovingly toward those around you! Because it is the nature of God to love, He will seek to make it your nature as well. The longer you abide in Christ, the more of His loving nature will dominate your life.
Would your friends and associates describe you as a loving person? Could your colleagues testify to how God expressed His love for them, through your life? How might the Holy Spirit be seeking to make you more loving in the coming days?
