Love endures all things 1 cor 13
Ever wondered why Jesus said loving God & loving others were the top 2 commands?
Many reasons probably but one that struck me today was that love is eternal. Love spreads and lasts.
E.g. As I love someone with the love of God that love is transmitted into their heart and they then love out themselves. One act of love could last for eternity - as I love someone, they love someone else and that love is passed to a younger generation and so on. The love that I give out can last far longer than my lifetime. When I have left this life and am in heaven, the love that I have given out can still be living on in peoples' hearts- people that I have never even met.
Indeed there may well be love living in my heart that originated from a person's initial loving out centuries ago.
Remember, it all starts with allowing God to fill my heart with His love, then seeking opportunities to spread it out.
The purpose of life: to connect ppl to the love of God. Amazingly, I can still be having an effect here beyond the grave!
