Overflowing Love

Have you ever really loved someone? I mean, really loved them? I think a lot of people really confuse love with so many other worldly emotions. Love is so much deeper than just a physical attraction or affection - love is when you are willing to give up everything for someone.

You've heard me share the stories about those who truly love, and you have heard me share before that true love is about giving, not getting. It is when you are willing to give what you have to make someone happy instead of wondering what they can give you. (Don't think for one minute I am talking about getting taken advantage of because true love only works both ways).

Today's word is 1 Thessalonians 3:12, NIV, which reads, "May the LORD make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you."

Overflowing love is what we are talking about today. I can tell you without any doubt or hesitation that I love Trish more today than I ever have, which I thought was impossible. When I awake and see her next to me, there is a feeling I cannot describe except LOVE. I have overflowing love for my children. I want to see them succeed and serve GOD. I LOVE them.

Do you really love someone? Do you have an overflowing love for someone? It all begins with JESUS. Once you come to know JESUS and experience His overflowing love, you cannot help but share that same love with others. You can only know true overflowing love through GOD, for GOD is LOVE. I pray we call experience His overflowing love.

Be Blessed,
