How do we keep loving people? Does our love tank ever run dry? Do we ever get spread too thin with the amount of people we can love? By our own strength the answer is “yes.” but with God, the supply of love never runs dry or gets spread to thin. His love is deep and wide. Check out this verse about what God pours into our hearts:
Romans 5:5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
We cannot pour out love to others to surpass the rate at which God supplies love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. How big and expansive is God’s love?
Ephesians 3:17 And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
God’s love fills us to fullness of God. Our joy is to let it overflow liberally to others. We will never run out no matter how much we give away.
How has this concept been a real experience in your life?
