Tonight at youth group we were learning about God's Kingdom. Specifically, Josh talked about the "Kingdom of Love." It is very late, but I thought I would write something between Precalc and English homework :/.
It is amazing to think of God's love. God gives us the same love He shows Jesus. He loves us unconditionally.
- Loving God means loving people.
- Our love for others must start with (loving) God!
- The love of God makes us secure.
I've struggled with God's love for me honestly. But if we can let it pervade every part of ourselves and our lives I cannot imagine how we would be a light for God to a lightless and loveless generation.
We must remember we cannot truly love on our own. We can only do it through God. After all, "we love Him, because He first loved us!"
I just want to leave you with two questions:
- How can you live from this point on in God's love?
- How is God's love affecting the way you live? (Is it?)

Hey Matt,
Wow yeah.. People really don't stop and think too much about how much God truly loves us, and even when they do they pretty much just say the words or quote a verse. But when you really stop and think about all He's done for us, and when you look around.. I just don't know how to explain it.. When you see the love God has for you how can you not spill it out on others?

Thanks for posting this Matt, it was a good recap for me. I guess I needed to hear it again =). I thought it was interesting also that just this Sunday morning the KIDMO lesson was all about God's love for us, and how we can share that love with others. Johnny explained peoples' love like a water hose spraying out water, but then God's love is like a whole waterfall, pouring out TONS of love! I thought that was cute. =)
It's good to "hear" from you here. :-) I'm praying for you!
Hey Matt- just wanted to let you know that this is my new blog!
