WE LOVE BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US
A new-born child, bathed in the love of his parents, learns to trust them,
And very soon responds to the outpowering of their love,
Until he himself becomes a give of love.
A new-born Christian, bathed in the love of God, learns to trust Him,
And very soon responds to the outpowering of His love,
Until he himself becomes a giver of love.
It is as though each heart is waiting,
And to develop fully, needs to receive Christ’s selfless love,
Until it overflows to others.
Is this what Jesus meant when He said, ‘anyone who will not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it’?
