I can't give away what I don't have: If I can't love others, it's because I don't know that God loves me.

It is obvious that in order to give away money, you must have money to give away, and in order to give away a car, you must have a car to give away. Likewise, in order to give away love, you must have love to give away.

That love -- true love -- can come only from God, for he is the only source of unconditional love. As followers of Christ, we are instructed to let God's love flow through us to the world: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another" (John 13:34).
.
You are to love others as God loves you. However, if you don't know how much God loves you, then you can't love one another.
.
Leviticus 19:18 says, "Love your neighbor as yourself." Again, if you don't have love in you (for yourself and for God), then you can't love others.
.
So, if you're having trouble loving others, it's probably because you don't know how much God loves you.

I like this week wisdom. Who really understands love? And who really can show it genuinely? Only God can fully fill the love tank inside us so that we can continue to pratise the commandments the Lord gives us lest people say that we are showing love hypocritically.
