National Feel the Love Day // 1 John 4:19

Happy National Feel the Love Day! I want to offer a simple thought for this Saturday. The Bible teaches that we can know love because God first loved us. I think about the experience I’ve had in loving my kids before they ever laid eyes on me. I loved them before they even knew what love was. I told them I loved them, and as they picked up language, they would say they loved me, too. BUT, nothing compares to the feelings I felt when they offered their own unsolicited expression of love. God wants the same. He loves us and puts people in our lives to model love. The entire experience of love changes when we receive it and express it on our own without being prompted. So, on this National Feel the Love Day, experience the love poured out for you by God and the people He’s tasked with modeling it for you. Then, once you feel it, share it so someone else can feel the love!
