We love, because He first loved us.

John 4:17-21, By this, love is perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.

Obviously we don’t attain the perfect love He has for us even on our best day. Even though He has sent us His Holy Spirit as our helper, we don’t always listen to Him. How does that love translate to my brother today?

Let me not be the one asking “Who is my brother?” Show me Your ways in how to love my brother today.
