Day 281 of 365
Loving Others First
1 John 4:19
1 John 4:19
“We love because he first loved us.”
Reflection
Your love for others flows from God's love for you. You can't give what you haven't received. When you struggle to love difficult people, the issue isn't them—it's your connection to God's love. Receive His love deeply. Let it fill you completely. Then it will overflow to others naturally. You love because He first loved you. This is the source and the power. Apart from His love, you have nothing to give.
