Unveiling the Power of Love in the Abundant Life Journey
No message resonates more deeply within the Gospel than love. It’s a sentiment echoed throughout history and culture, from ancient scriptures to timeless musical anthems. In the Old Testament, love was emphasized: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” (Deuteronomy 6:5, NIV). In culture, The Beatles captured this truth: “All You Need is Love”.
GOD IS LOVE (1 John 4:8) AND HE LOVES YOU; THAT’S THE TRUTH! God loved you first, unconditionally, even when you were a sinner (Romans 5:8). But what about you: have you loved Him back? Have you reciprocated this love? How deep is your love for God?
A spiritually abundant life, that generates abundance in all other areas, is rooted in love for God above all else—a deep, intimate relationship and connection with the source of life itself.
When you love someone or something, you prioritize it—it is always a pleasure and never an obligation or habit. You yearn to be with the object of your affection with intrinsic motivation. You don’t feel the time passing and, when you realize that you need to go, you can’t wait to be with your beloved again. When you are with God, completely involved in His presence, it also happens like this.
Cultivating the Divine Romance
You wondering: “What if I don’t love him like that yet? How do you begin this ‘romance’?” Contemplate God, and love naturally follows. Consider the awe-inspiring nature around you—a living testament to Who God is. Reflect on the innocence of a baby, the joy of a child, the bond of siblings, and the life of Christ as revealed in the Bible. How can you not be mesmerized? God is the most incredible Being in the universe!
God is majestic, righteous, great, powerful, sovereign, loving, merciful, compassionate, wonderful, a counselor, a Father who loves deeply—He is infinite and infinity Itself!
Spending time in His presence through silence, music, worship, prayer, and meditation on His truth as revealed in the Bible is the path to nurturing this romance each day. The more you do it, the more you will be bathed in His glory and light, and the more you will be strengthened and empowered to live your life with wisdom and achieve abundance. We encourage you to use our free resource “Daily Morning Time with God” to make your meditation in your devotional time more special.
Love’s Transformative Power and Its Ripple Effect
As your love deepens, each day your motivation to be with Him will increase, and empowerment will grow from love and intimacy. Naturally, this love will overflow into your relationships, making you more altruistic with all your resources (and not just your financial ones). It also ultimately leads you to success in your love life, parenting, career, social life, service, and beyond—i.e., all areas of your life will be full of fullness and abundance. And pay attention! This is not positive thinking; it is a Bible promise: “So above all, constantly seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly.” (Matthew 6:33, TPT)
The abundant life is a derivative of love. How much love are you experiencing and giving to God and others? The more love you have in your life, the better the results in all areas. Yes, it is simple like that! It is all interconnected, and it all begins with a simple four-letter word: LOVE!
So, LOVE your God, BE WITH AND IN Him, and your life will greatly improve and abound!
