"You can only Love to the degree in which you are loved." -Matt Sanders
I completely agree with this statement 100%!
But what about all those kids who grew up without parents, or with parents who beat them, etc. Well there is another love that they can know, a love that is perfect, unlike the imperftect love that we produce. Paul prays a prayer for his peeps and this is how it goes, "I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God". (Eph 3:17-19)
When we grasp just a glimmer of this Love that God has for us I think it will change how we live.
Another statement that I agree with 100% is this
"LOVE is the KEY to EVERYTHING" - me
If we begin to see Christ's love for us we will then be made whole and begin to overflow with the Love of Christ and it will naturally spill into the lives of those around us. This love will affect every aspect of our life. We will begin to treat our spouses, friends, and family in a different manner. Our work habits will be different. Our road rage will cease. How will this happen?
