"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only son, so that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
Love is so real and so big. Love is something that everyone longs for. Until we experience Christ and have a personal relationship with Him, we will not know true, unfailing, eternal love. Seeking for unfailing love from another human is setting us up for disappointment. It's not gonna satisfy. Nothing besides the love of God will ever satisfy us.
Once we've experienced love from Christ, we have the true ability to love others. It needs to be our desire to love others with the love Christ has given us. But here is the thing.. So many Christians nowdays don't make an effort to show the love of Christ to other people.
We get comfortable in our normal lifestyle and just go along with it.. There's an issue if while you're out in public nobody would even know that you're a Christian and living your life for God. There's an issue if you're not trying to show the love of God everyday.
We're not perfect though. We all struggle in this area. I know I do, and I hate when I do. This whole topic is something I am still working on daily myself, and it's something I always will have to work on. But I'm allowing God to work in me, and asking Him to help me get better at this whole thing.

"Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God." - 1 John 4:7
"We love each other because he loved us first" - 1 John 4:19
God has really been speaking to me about all this these past few weeks. How we as Christians need to share the love of God any chance we get. Wether it be by welcoming the new person at church, or just truly taking interest in someone who you know is going through something and needs encouragement.
We need to stop being ordinary, and start being extraordinary for GOD. We need to desire to be a light for Christ, and share His love everywhere we go. We need to make sure we're reflecting the love of Christ at church, at home, and just while out in public.
