Unfortunately, my keyboard does not look like this; I wish it did. But, I still get the idea – love is the center of all things. Love is the greatest, most precious thing out there. To love another ( besides yourself ) is the highest pinnacle of human behavior. With my viewing this picture, I IMMEDIATELY thought of this familiar verse from the book of John…
John 3 ( World English Bible )
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
As I was thinking about this famous verse, I thought…
The greatest love – “God so loved”
Because HE is the GREATEST OF ALL. Isaiah 44:7
---
The greatest object – “the world”
Imagine, loving billions upon billions of human beings for thousands and thousands of years. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
---
The greatest gift– “his one and only Son”
God sacrificing himself for us. Philippians 2:5-11
---
The greatest trust- “whoever believes in him should not perish”
Romans 4:5; 9:33 and 10:11
---
The greatest possibility- “but have eternal life“
Romans 5:21; 6:22; 6:23
Look again at the picture above: Is the love of God, the center of your life ( like it is in the picture )? If not, change things so that it is.
One last thought; Jesus said…
Matthew 22 ( WEB )
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
