Love Much
 

Love Much
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Therefore I tell you, her sins, many [as they are], are forgiven her — because she has loved much. But he who is forgiven little loves little.”
(Luke 7:47, AMP)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Did you know that forgiveness opens the door for love to operate in your life? This scripture passage is talking about the story of the woman with the alabaster box of costly perfume. She was a notorious sinner in her day, and when she saw Jesus, she fell at His feet and began washing them with her tears and drying them with her hair. She knew she was forgiven. When she received Christ’s forgiveness, love was the automatic response. She was forgiven of much, and her love was extravagant.

Do you want more love in your life? Do you want to feel more of God’s love and have stronger relationships with the people around you? Open your heart to forgiveness. Receive Christ’s forgiveness and extend it to others. When you are forgiven much, you will love much. As Christ’s love flows through you, your faith will be strengthened, your hope will be renewed, and you will be empowered to live the abundant life He has in store for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, Thank You for loving me. Thank You for Your forgiveness which opens the door for Your love to flow through me. Show me Your love and help me to be a light and example of love everywhere I go in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The words that came to mind, "Love much, love often." We have to learn to love ourselves. It was even harder to like ourselves. For many years I looked for love in all the wrong places. I didn't know it needed to come from within.

Always knew that God loved me, or so I was told. I didn't think He had much use for me and thought I would be cut down by His Wrath, with no thought of His Loving Hand touching me.
