1John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. (KJV)
Yesterday, the still, small voice asked me, “What does love mean to you? How does it look?” My first thought was, ‘Lord, You are love. It looks like You.’
I really began to think on those two questions and this is what I came up with:
One day I was out on our deck worshiping and when I opened my eyes, I saw a heart in the clouds, which is the picture on this post. I was loving on my Lord and He gave me this heart!
Love looks like two beautiful green eyes looking at me when I wake up in the morning and then my husband says, “Good morning beautiful.”
It looks like our niece, Brianna stopping by on her way north to say hi and we all sit around sharing funny stories from days gone by and laugh so hard our stomachs hurt!
It looks like a gentle smile to a hurting person, or a smiley face drawn on the paper that wraps their sandwich.
It looks like two brothers working together to get a loved one moved despite being exhausted.
It means giving of oneself sacrificially just because you love someone and want to be there for them.
It means wanting the Father’s best for that person and being an instrument in that process.
It looks like a star filled sky on a crisp dark night…….a beautiful sunrise and sunset……ever present reminders that He is there.
These are just a few of the things I have thought on since yesterday. There are more, but I want to encourage you to think on these two questions. I know I will be thinking more on them as well.
“What does love mean to you? How does it look?” Be blessed today as you think on one of the most marvelous ways of expressing Christ in you, the hope of glory!
