“If we love God most, we will love others best”
(Jon Bloom, desiringGod.org)

In order to make us capable of love, God first changes our hearts. This is called Prevenient Grace – it’s this divine grace that prepares the human heart to freely choose God.
1 John 4:19 (NIV)

“We love because He first loved us”
 “I have found the paradox that if you love until it hurts,
There can be no more hurt, only more love.”
Mother Teresa

“Love draws us close to God with the bonds of relationship.
Praise is honouring God for who He is.
Thanksgiving is thanking God for what He has done.
Love, Praise and Thanksgiving make up the heart of our part in worship.
Darlene Zschech

 “To fall in love with God is the greatest of all romances; to seek Him, the greatest adventure; to find Him, the greatest human achievement.”
St Augustine

“God showed us His love by sending His only begotten Son
That whoever believes in Him will not perish but have
eternal life.”
John 3:16 NIV

These quotes from well-known sources all agree that LOVE IS THE KEY.
What is your response?
Will you love the One who draws you close in relationship?
Will you praise the One who deserves honour?
Will you thank the One for all He has done?

As you listen to this song written by Joe King, may you worship and embrace the love that Jesus freely gives … YOU …
