My dear people, let us love one another since love comes from God and everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God.
1Jn.4:7
How do I get to know God? By loving.
John's inference is that I have a choice to love or not. He entreats the former. When I choose to not love I'm always thinking of myself... my rights, my hurt, my injustice, my fears. My world becomes very small with a population of one. Me.
Love wipes all this self absorption away. My world becomes bigger, more interesting, and more joyful. I become more fully alive!
Lord, let me love today.
Saint John the Apostle, please pray for me.
