John 4:19-4:21 says: 19We love because he first loved us. 20If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. 21And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
It took me a while to truly learn but I still realized soon enough to make a difference and have implanted this into my everyday interaction with others. If not for the love of God where would I be? His love has lifted me and is what takes all the credit for who I am and what I have been able to do today. This is all wonderful, and many people get to that point but then stop with the lesson. God does not want us to only recognize and thank him, but he wants us to look into what he has been to us so that we can be that to others. Therefore, show the grace and love of God through what we do ourselves and what we say to others. Often times, we get to this recognition, but we fail to take it to that next step and give to others the blessing that we have been given by God through Christ.
