Dear Nina,

We love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19)

God’s example of love reminds us again and again of our need to love one another. We cannot truly receive God’s love if we are not willing to love in return.

During this season of love, may we remember that we can love because God first loved us, and we must love because He loved us first.
