Impossible love

Today’s daily devotion is based on John 13:34,  “As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”

When God commands us to love one another as he has loved us, he gives us no small task. He says to love with the love that he has shown to us. How can we do that? We can do the kinds of things that will make sure even death will not limit our love. If you want to love your spouse, pray for and encourage their faith. If you want to love your child, make sure that they grow up in a place where their faith can be nurtured. If you want to love your neighbor, do the kinds of things that allow you to share with them the hope you have in Jesus. Helping those you love to be in the Word of Christ and to follow his commands is one of the greatest expressions of love because it is the only thing that is truly limitless.
​
Please pray with me, Father, thank you for loving us so much that you sent Jesus. Help us to love with the limitless love you have shown to us. Amen.
