We love because God first loved us

My thoughts are a jumbled mess. A lot of times, I start writing only to realise that I do not know how to continue it. So it is with this post. So much to say but no right words to do it justice.

God's lessons are unending. I thought I have learnt how to love, but life happens and I realise that I have not grasped even 5% of what it is like to love the way God loves. God's love is immeasurable, unchangeable, indescribable. So much more than what I think it is.

Love is living a lifestyle, not merely relishing a hobby or a goal or a spur-in-the-moment. Love truly is loving the unlovable, loving even when I can't and don't want to, loving despite the seasons/circumstances/mood I'm in, loving when I have nothing to give or offer. Why? Because love comes from God.

Love is unconditional, continual, sacrificial. Love is blind to colour, age, health, wealth, life conditions. Why? Because God is the epitome of love.

As I ponder about life, I can't help but realise how simple the truth is.
We love not because we are able to, are good at it, or because we have to.

We love because God first loved us.
