"The Power of Love"

My beloved child, today I want to speak to you about the most powerful force in the universe—love. From the beginning of creation, love has been at the center of My relationship with humanity. Everything I have done, and everything I do, is motivated by love. I created you out of love, redeemed you out of love, and call you each day to live in the fullness of that love. Love is not only an emotion; it is a choice, a commitment, and the very essence of who I am. As it is written, “God is love” (1 John 4:8). Today, I invite you to reflect on the power of love and how it can transform your life.

You Are Loved Unconditionally

First and foremost, know this truth: You are loved beyond measure. My love for you is not based on your achievements, your successes, or your failures. It is not something you have to earn, nor is it something that can be taken away. I love you unconditionally, with a love that is eternal and unwavering. “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore, I have continued my faithfulness to you” (Jeremiah 31:3).

In moments when you feel unworthy or when the world tries to tell you that you are not enough, remember that My love for you never changes. Nothing you do can separate you from My love. I have engraved you on the palms of My hands, and I hold you close to My heart. Let this truth bring you peace and confidence, knowing that no matter what happens, you are always loved by Me.

Love One Another as I Have Loved You

Just as I have loved you, so too do I call you to love others. “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12). My love for you is sacrificial, selfless, and unconditional, and I ask you to extend that same love to those around you. Love is not just a feeling; it is an action. It is shown through kindness, patience, forgiveness, and the willingness to put others before yourself.

Loving others, especially when it is difficult, is one of the greatest ways you can reflect My heart to the world. When you forgive someone who has hurt you, when you show compassion to those in need, when you speak kindly instead of harshly, you are living out My commandment of love. This love has the power to heal wounds, restore broken relationships, and bring light to even the darkest situations.

Love Your Enemies

I know that loving others can sometimes feel challenging, especially when it comes to those who have wronged you or those you find difficult to love. Yet, I call you to a higher standard of love, a love that extends even to your enemies. “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:44). This kind of love is radical and countercultural, but it is the love I modeled for you.

When I was on the cross, I prayed for those who were crucifying Me, saying, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34). I call you to do the same. When you love your enemies, you break the cycle of hatred and revenge. You show the world that love is stronger than hate, and that mercy triumphs over judgment. Trust that as you love those who have hurt you, I will work in their hearts, and I will also bring healing to yours.

The Power of Sacrificial Love

The ultimate example of love is found in My sacrifice on the cross. “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). My love for you was so great that I willingly gave My life to save you. This is the kind of love that I ask you to live out—love that is willing to sacrifice, love that puts others first, love that gives without expecting anything in return.

Sacrificial love is not always easy, but it is the most powerful expression of love. Whether it is through small daily acts of kindness or through great personal sacrifices, when you love others selflessly, you reflect My love to the world. This kind of love has the power to change lives, to bring healing, and to draw others closer to Me.

Action Step for Today

Take a moment today to reflect on the people in your life. Is there someone you need to forgive? Is there someone who needs to feel My love through you? Commit to showing love in a tangible way today—whether it’s through a kind word, a selfless act, or a prayer for someone who has wronged you. Let My love flow through you, bringing peace, healing, and joy to those around you.
