We love because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19
Those are the words that so perfectly adorn my wall over my dining table. Makayla and Tanner was trying to guess what it was going to say as I hung it up. "We love because.... we are pretty?" Makayla asked once.. Tanner then replied "NO it's going to say We love because we are nice." Finally I finish and Tanner says, ohhh MAKAYLA I know what it means, It's from the Bible. Makayla asks "What's it mean exactly?" Tanner answers "That God loves us so we love, well, I think, everyone."
Little moments like that really make me feel like one blessed individual. We often don't think about why we love in the first place. We also forget that we are to love one another. I know I am guilty sometimes. I get mad, I say things, I do things... all which are not examples of loving as I should. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 1 John 4:20 I know that it's hard to love others sometimes, even if they are people you know or don't know. It's one thing I'm trying to remember.
That's my wall for now.... once I get all my frames, I will be putting a lot of pictures up, but for now I wanted to share the verse :)
