Love Deeply

 

“…so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.”

—1 Peter 1:22a

Our “surface society” takes very little in this life seriously, nor pursues anything deeply except possibly people’s search for self-aggrandizing pleasure.

But true peace, comfort, and enjoyment in this life springs forth from the rich love that God places deep within our hearts.

This love has a nature that is high and wide and long and, yes, deep. It covers over a multitude of tough edges. It strengthens and sustains everyone who falls under its influence.

The Apostle Peter understood the great power of God-breathed love when he wrote these words in 1 Peter 1:22-23:

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

Let us continue this day to allow God’s love to flow through us and touch the lives around us.

And, let us especially continue to love deeply our brothers and sisters in Christ.
