We love Him because He first loved us. I John 4:19

‘God’s love is not a slowly dripping faucet or a well we must dig for ourselves. It is a rushing stream that flows from His heart into ours. Whatever our family background or experiences in life - whether we feel well-loved by others or not - we can know love. We can draw from the Lord’s inexhaustible source to know His loving care for us, and we can pass it on to others.’ *

Lord, help me to follow your example and be the first in showing love, rather than waiting for others. Amen.
