For the love of Christ controls us, since we have concluded this, that Christ died for all; therefore all have died.2 Corinthians 5:14

When you are born again, the Holy Spirit sheds abroad in your heart, the love of Christ. This love doesn't cut short your expectations and hope; the bible states that this hope will not be disappointed. The Samaritan woman at the well, experienced the love of Christ. Instead of condemning her for all she has done, He offered her the water of life.

Revelation 2. 4-5; "return to your first love" (paraphrased) is usually construed to mean that, you need to re-ignite the love that you had for God first. But the first love refers to the Love that Christ has always had for you. His arms are always open wide to receive you, just like the father of the prodigal son. He thought he had gone too far, that his father wouldn't want to have anything to do with him again. He practised what he would say to his father; "please make me one of your hired servants". But he wasn't allowed to complete his speech before he was showered with love and provision.

The father didn't say, "okay, I won't give my son these expensive gifts because he has not been prudent with finances". Beloved, this is love, not that we first loved Him, but that He first loved us. Accept God's love for you; bask in it. For He has proposed in His heart to do you good always and guide you through all of life's journey. Put His love in the first place.

Prayer: I bask in the love You have for me.
