KNOWING REAL LOVE

Today I started reading "Better Together".  It's a 40 Days of Community Devotional and Journal.  It talks about how God's love for us gives us the reason to love others.  That God's love in us gives us the ability to love others.  And it teaches that God's love through us gives us the way to love others.  It also has a daily journal and although I don't usually share my personal journal, I decided to share this one from today.

DAY 1 JOURNAL

I thought that I never truly knew what love was until I married John; he is so self-sacrificing towards me.  Then I learned another aspect of love as my children got older.  I realized that there is nothing that my children could do to make me stop loving them; it may cause us to have a time of separation, but my love is always there waiting for them.  Then I learned the greatest aspect of love when I went through radiation; I felt God's presence and knew that not even death could separate Him from me.

Whatever you are going through my friend, know that God loves you!  : )
