—1 John 4:7-13
by: Gabi Patz.
In a world full of hatred, sin, and violence, we are called to love. This sounds sweet and fun but can actually be extremely difficult. It is easy to love those we care about, but what about the people who hurt us? Those who have different beliefs? Different values? We are called to love them as well. If Jesus died only for those who loved Him well every day, who never hurt or betrayed Him, who never fell short, none of us would be saved. Thankfully, Jesus knows every side of us—our best and our worst—and He died for us anyway. When we remember His love, it empowers us to love others in the same way.
