Keep Yourselves in God’s Love

Jude 1:21, “keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.”

God’s love is powerful. Remembering that His love can change people and circumstances, gives us hope to keep praying, trusting and believing. As God’s children, we carry His love inside of us, so through Him, we have the power to touch the lives of people.

1 John 4:7

Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.

We often speak of how important it is to “walk in love.” However, we should ask God to help us to do this daily. He will make us aware of the specific ways and relationships where we are neglecting to walk in love.

I have personally been on an intentional journey of learning to understand and receive God’s love as well as learning to apply it correctly in my relationship with others. It is not an easy journey but it has brought me much freedom, understanding and healing.

We should also ask God to show us ways that we are not walking in love toward ourselves. Understanding your own worth and value is vital in having the ability to show love to yourself and others. Learning to love yourself can also sometimes mean removing yourself from circumstances or relationships where you are not being loved properly. It is a reality that some people do not value you and they do not love you. And their inability to love you, is often related to the fact that they do not even love themselves.

Regardless of whatever situation you may be facing, the moral of the story is that, the love of God is powerful and can pull you through anything. It can bring healing, strength and peace to your life and the lives of those around you.

No matter what is happening in our world today, may we never underestimate the power of God’s love to change us, change people, change circumstances, and ultimately change our world. So as the Bible tells us, keep yourselves in God’s love.

    Like you mentioned, it is not easy to walk in love every day. It takes intentionality and a lot of help from the Holy Spirit, but may we indeed strive to do so every single day.
