Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us
(1 John 4:11-12).
Wait doesn’t that scripture read? We ought to love others however we feel they deserve to be loved? Or perhaps it should read we ought to love them once they have treated you well or they have earned the right to receive your special love? First off what is special about your love, besides the fact it is selfish? Then no of us should want a selfish love. We should desire a love that is purely given with expectations in return. Given simply because it what demonstrates to the world you are truly a child of God! When you show the same selfish love as the world has, no wonder no one wants to believe in Jesus cause you have never shown them Jesus only your selfishness. Tap into the real deal of the love of God so we might know how to love with pure unselfish love. That is something the world has not seen in a long time!
