What it means to love ? What it means to be loved ? What is love ?
Take some time and think about a time when you felt loved. what it means to be loved ? What does this look like, how do people treat you ? How do you treat people you love?
The bible is full of stories of love. When people loved each other, when people felt loved or when they did not feel loved. Read the bellow scripture a couple of times, think on the meaning? What does it mean to you ? What phrase jumps out at you ? Are there some things that you just do not get?
Titus 3:4 :
But then God our Savior showed us his kindness and love. He saved us, not because of the good things we did, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins and gave us a new life through the Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us because of what Jesus Christ our Savior did. He declared us not guilty because of his great kindness. And now we know that we will inherit eternal life. These things I have told you are all true.
Some times the love is hard to feel. People just don't feel it. Things stand in there way of being loved. They put up barriers, maybe physically and may be emotionally These barrier prevent from people having the loving relationships that God intended us to feel
What are some of these barrier ? Do you know people who put up barriers ? What do there bariers look like ?
How do we break down these barriers? So we can enter into relationships that are authentic and real. To be as God intended. Read Jeremiah 29:11-14
