And hope maketh not
ashamed; because the love
of God is shed abroad in our
hearts by the Holy Ghost
which is given unto us
(Romans 5:5).
The Bible tells us in 1 John
4:8 that “God is love”; His
very nature is love, and you
have His love-nature in you
as one who ’s born again.
That means all of God’s love
is in your spirit, so you can’t
have more of God’s love than
you already have today.
According to our opening
scripture; “…the love of God
is shed abroad in our hearts
by the Holy Ghost which is
given unto us (Romans 5:5).
The question then is what
are you going to do with all
of this love that ’s in your
heart?
John 3:16 gives us an
example of what to do with
the love of God, it says,
“ For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only
begotten son ….” God so loved
us and reached out to us
even at a time when we
didn ’t know Him or care
about Him! He sent Jesus to
win us and reconcile us to
Himself, not counting our
sins against us. He did this
for us in Christ Jesus.
And now the Bible says in 2
Corinthians 5:19 that God
has committed to us the
ministry of reconciliation.
We have the responsibility
of reconciling others to Him.
We’re to reach out to our
world; to the hurting and
the loveless that have no
hope and give them the love
of God that ’s in our hearts.
But to do this you need to
be filled with the Spirit; you
actually can ’t share God’s
love except you’re filled with
the Spirit. So if you haven’t
received the Holy Spirit, you
can do so even now. Say this
in faith: “Heavenly Father,
in the Name of the Lord
Jesus Christ, I receive the
Holy Spirit into my heart to
live in me, to help me share
your love to others. ” The
Holy Spirit is the One that
energizes you to do the work
of God and share His love
with others.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you
for your love that ’s in my
heart; It’s the same great
love wherewith you’ve loved
me! I make a difference in
my world today as I touch
everyone I meet with your
love. The world will see and
acknowledge your love in my
life to the glory and praise
of your Name, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
Further Study:
Mark 16:15
And he said unto them, Go
ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every
creature.
1 John 4:10
Herein is love, not that we
loved God, but that he loved
us, and sent his Son to be
the propitiation for our sins.
