I read somewhere that the problem is that many people hear “Jesus Loves You” but because they hear it and don’t understand it, that phrase goes ignored, it gets resented, and in some cases hated.
So I want to clarify. I’m John it says God is love. Okay yea, but what does that mean.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NLT)
Love is patient and kind, love is not jealous or boastful or proud, or rude. It does not demand it’s own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
Imagine knowing someone who meets you right where you are, no matter how big you feel like your mistake is, he meets you with patience, and kindness. You ever feel like you can’t tell someone what upsets you because you fear the reaction? Imagine someone who will always be a listening ear, and “never rejoices about injustice”, that means whatever is upsetting you, he will never just brush it off, he listens and he will handle it and what? “Rejoice when the truth wins”, imagine someone that ALWAYS wants to see you win. Someone who is never rude, no matter how rude you may be him. That’s Love and it comes at NO PRICE. you don’t have to win his love, you don’t have to make sure your life is right before you get his love, you don’t have to dress up, or show the best parts of you personality, you don’t even have to smile, matter fact, you can come to him with your brokenness, teary eyed, snot faced hurt and baggage, and he will meet you with love. It’s something you can’t explain, it’s something you have to experience. But once you experience it, you’ll understand. But until you do, just know, his love is for you too.
