Do you remember your first crush? Or the first time you fell in love? Maybe it was your wedding day or the first time you held your baby in your arms? The love that you felt in your heart; something unnatural, something you had never felt before. Well, I have started to feel that love. For complete strangers.
Yeah…it’s weird. I know. I’m the one feeling it! I’ve prayed that God would put His love in me for others because honestly, it’s hard to love people. I obviously love my family and friends, and people like me; but that’s easy. Most of the time I’m selfish with who or what I love. But this year has changed me in many ways and one of those ways is how I love. I feel like I’ve experienced God’s love for others, but there’s something new and unnatural about how I feel now. I’ve never felt love like this before.
It’s this overwhelming love for people. The woman cooking dinner outside, the man driving the motorcycle, the kid playing with a tire wheel. It’s a little crazy actually. I just look at them and feel…
love.
And it’s not my love, definitely not. It’s God’s love for them. I think God has allowed me to feel just a little bit, we’re talking miniscule here, of the love He feels for each one of us.
As I think of how God feels, this crazy love for people, I think of how much it hurts Him to not be loved back. And that’s why I’m here. To tell others how much God loves them and how much He wants to be loved back by them. Have you ever loved someone and not been loved back? It’s horrible! But it happens to God every day and that makes me sad.
All I can do is tell others about His love and show His love by living it every day. Will you help me?
