A NEW YEAR 6

TIME
TAKE TIME1John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
 Take time to Love and be Loved--It is a God-given privilege.

We all want to feel loved.  We all at some time or another express love for others but if we read the above verse closely we will find that God does not merely want us to feel and express love...He wants us to live in love.

 I think this actually means that love should be a way of life for us.  We should wake up each day and know that we will spend it in God's love and even when we close our eyes at night and fall asleep we are embraced and protected by God's love.  If we are to live in love we are supposed to convey that love to others.

 Some people are easier to love than others because they love you back.  I love the saying that we should love those who deserve it the least because they need it the most.  Of all the gifts that God gave us, Love is the greatest of all.
