Giving Love Away....

Good Morning Christian Peeps! We have all heard the saying, "It's not love until you give it away". But maybe we should think about it this way.... You can't give love away if you haven't accepted it for yourself. There are so many times when we purpose in our hearts to love someone....we say "I am going to love them if it kills me!". Well, if we are trying to give something we don't have it might kill us. God is love, and until we can accept that he loves us right where we are we will find ourselves holding onto shame, guilt and condemnation. We will believe that we are unlovable, and unworthy. If we have that belief about ourselves then we can't possibly believe that someone else is worthy of our love because we don't have it to give. Romans 5:8 says "But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." He didn't wait until we were perfect or worthy, while we were yet sinners, he died for us. Will we not accept God's love that he is extending to us? He doesn't ask us to be worthy of his love, he gives it freely and without condition. Be Blessed!
