All You Need Is Love dododododo

So many people treat love like it is something that needs to be earned, like love can't happen over night and should be given only to a few select people. But this belief is completely and utterly false. Jesus loves everyone from the moment we are created, so why can't we love each other unconditionally? God gives us the gift of his grace. We have sinned, we have turned our backs from God and yet he is still full of so much love, just waiting for us to realize it and turn around and run to him. In Ephesians 3 Paul asks his fellow followers in christ not to be sad because of his suffering but he lifts up his suffering in the glory of God's name. How cool is that! I wish every time I was down instead of thinking of myself I could look to God and praise him for his never-ending love and mercy. Heres the thing, I've tried it and it works. I can be having a horrible day and as soon as I turn my heart to God and think about how much he loves me, read his word, or surround myself with his community, immediately my heart changes. When our eyes are on God we can't help but see his love and be joyous. So love others because God loves you.
