Can you feel the love tonight? (and every minute of every day?)

Way back in time, researchers did a study where they separated newborns from their mothers. They fed them, but avoided all contact with the children. They died. They died of loneliness.




Telling the babies that they are loved would have not been enough, they would not have understood. They NEEDED to feel the love in order to live.



I believe we are the same when it comes to God, hearing is nice, but we wont understand. We need to feel the love in order to understand what is going on in our lives (but not necessarily why, that's up to God to understand). We need to feel the love of God.



If we don't feel the love, we fill our hearts with band-aid solutions like money, work, friends, clothes, and worst of all, sin.



Gods love is powerful, if you feel the love, you wont need these things



(everything except for sin you will probably need in order to live, its a common sense thing. But you wont need to worry about them, because God takes care of us.)



So how do we feel the love?



We are Gods creation, We are everywhere, we have a wonderful gift from God called the Bible, if you haven't figured it out yet, Its us! (I'm excited! are you excited?)



We are here to work for God. We are examples of his love. When we show each other love and act for him in his name, others see this. A selfless man/woman sacrificing themselves for others will turn more heads than anything ever could. It will get peoples attention, and they will see the love and joy!



And others show us love in the same way.



That's as real as it gets.



Be selfless.



Strive everyday, in every way, to serve God. And spread the love. Be selfless.



A book of the bible that I read recently, Colossians, Has a verse that explains a lot for me. It was written by Paul to the church in Colossians.



“I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally. My purpose is that the may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”

Colossians 2:1-3



Help others to feel and understand, and thank God for giving you the ability to do his Glorious work.
