Passage Context

5They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Devotional Reflection

LoveJoyGratitudeHopeCompassionAwe

Where, oh where, is love?" asks an old song. God loves love. God is the source of love. Love is the most important thing about God. Love is from God. Love is of God. Do you want to be more loving? Do you want to find greater intensity in your love? Do you want to know how to love hard-to-love people? Focus on God. But where do we most clearly see God? Jesus! So look at how God has shown His love through Jesus and do the same thing.

Prayer

Holy God, I want to show that You are my Father by loving others better. Please bless me as I try to treat other people with love like Jesus did. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
