Love is central to all life and actually it is tied into the very fabric of the universe plus all known matter! We can learn to love because God first loved us.
What is the first step in allowing Almighty God to flow thru and out of us?
"To acknowledge every good thing He has put in us by and thru Christ Jesus!"
{Philemon 6}
Because God is the real source of our reaching out to love others!
What is that source? God, for God is Love! {1 John 4:8 }
Anytime you feel true love flowing out of you, that's God flowing from you!
"Love is of God" {He is the sole source!}
