Love because He first loved US

Friends, as we seek justice, pursue God's Kingdom and love others, let's not forget: "We love because he first loved us." He is the reason.

It is because of His love that we are able to love others. It is because of His love that we have the hope of redemption and true life that we seek to spread. It is because of His love that we can do more than we could ever ask or imagine. We need His love. It is His love that shows us what true justice looks like and gives us the vision of how this world should be. It is His love that causes us to spread more of His Kingdom on this earth, that gives us the zeal to pray"your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." And it is His love that gives us the hope that His will will be done.

With His love, more can be done than we could ever dream to help the hurting, love the broken, and lead the lost to new life. We need His love in us, running through us, and sustaining us to truly bring about lasting change in this world - and to help this world believe in the hope of what is to come.
