FOCUS OF OUR LOVE

When we open our hearts to God and His love, we realize how lovely Jesus is, and how truly worthy of love. Jesus pours His love into our hearts, and it then flows powerfully back to Himself. Jesus is the focus of our love. Our concern is Jesus Himself. Our hearts are kindled with love for Him. We long to do something for Him. We do what His tender heart desires most deeply. We give Him our love.

A DIVINE STREAM

The love of Jesus flows into our hearts like a divine stream. It is in direct proportion to our commitment to Him. "Lord, take my life and everything that makes it worth living. I love You, and I give You everything. I will hold nothing back from You. Let Your blessed Will be done in my life." All Jesus wants is our fervent love. Nothing makes Him happier than our love. And nothing makes us happier than the clear-cut knowledge that He loves us. We are so privileged to love Him, who gave His life for us. What a blessed assurance of divine love. “For no one can imagine the good things that God has prepared for those that love Him” - (1 Corinthians 2:9).
