God overflows with love – Bro. D.G.S Dhinakaran
“God is love” (1 John 4:8).
Dearly beloved, God’s Word says “God is love” (1 John 4:8). God doesn’t just say He is love but He showed it by coming down for our sake and sacrificing Himself to save us from our sins. We have experienced what love is through our family and friends but the love that we find in this world is conditional. God alone loves us the way love actually functions. When we walk with the Lord, we understand what true love is and also that He Himself is love. Once we know that God is love in its fullest, we can be assured that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38).
Some years ago a musical team visited Soviet Russia. The music director who was leading that team, was a very famous man. Just before they began their performance, the organizers came running to him and said, “The Russian President is coming here in a while; could you please sing a special song for him?” The musicians were taken aback and wondered how they could compose a special music for the President within few minutes. The President arrived within 15 minutes. When he came in, the musicians stood up and the music director led them to sing a beautiful song; the orchestra played a wonderful music. The President was stunned on hearing that awesome song; the entire crowd was thrilled and gave a big round of applause. How was that music director able to compose such a beautiful song within a few minutes? Because, music was in him. He was always saturated with the talent of music. It was flowing out of him.
My dear brother and sister! Our God too is like that. Love is flowing out of Him all the time. Yes, God is saturated with love. He is filled with love and it is manifested through His words and deeds. He heals, delivers, does miracles and blesses us out of His love for us. Yes, the Lord Jesus’ works are reflection of His love. When we abide in His love we will reflect His love in this world that is thristy for love. God’s love will flow through us like how it flows through Him and many will come to know God through us. We will be blessed and be a blessing to others.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father,
Your Word says that You are love and I understand how much you love me through your sacrifice on the cross. You have given Yourself for me so how will You not give me what I ask of You as in Romans 8:32. I ask You to fill me with the love that flows through you so that I will be a blessing to the people around me. Let me reflect Your love in my actions and words. Help me to love You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength and love people the way I love myself as You have said in Matthew 22:37,39.
In Jesus name I pray loving Father, Amen.
