1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us.
The third aspect of our tagline reminds us of our relationship with the world. How do we treat those not in our church. We should be able to love freely with no expectation of any return because we don’t fill up our cup from the world (see Get It). We should take what we have received from God and grown with our church family and with open hands and hearts share it wide and loud and with no hesitation. We GIVE love away! Matthew 10:8b Freely you have received; freely give.
How are your relationships with others today? Are you able to love those who disagree with you? Are you able to give love freely to people who are looking for hope? Start by praying for the difficult people in your life. God will give you compassion!
