A prayer for true love by Marjorie Jackson.

The one who does not love does not know God,

for God is love, 1 John 4-8.

God's love for you and me is passionate, pure and beyond anything we've ever experienced, accepting

us as we are.

Our good, our sins, our past, and our flaws are all bare before his eyes.

Yet being the perfect gentleman and father he is, he washes and changes,

teaches and grows us tenderly.

He reminds us of our worth and beauty as his daughters.

He wants to forgive, bless, and take care of us. He loves us with unconditional agape love.

And the good news is, his love never fails. We can love like that too, not in our own strength or willpower, but by the Holy Spirit, perfecting God's love in our hearts.

The deeper we know God and His arduous, purposeful love for us and for others, the easier we can love others

as an act of loving obedience to God.

1st John 420 tells it like it is. If someone says, I love God and hates his brother, he is a liar.

For the one who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

Of course, how can we defy God's command to love the people he has placed in our lives and still claim to love him.
