Wired to love

1 John 4:7-8 NIV
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, God is love.

We are a new creation. Born anew. Re-wired on the inside. And it is important to know how about how this new creation is wired. To have our minds renewed.  Because it is easy to think we are still wired in the old way. That we operate on the inside as everybody else does.
But the truth is that when we were born again a re-wiring took place. And where we used to have a heart that was wired to take and get and look out only for its own interests this has been replaced with a heart that desires to give and to bless and to love. The re-wiring that God has done empowers us to live a life of love.

We must keep on remembering who we really are.
