\"Superhuman,<\/a><\/p>\n

by Lydia Floren<\/p>\n

Last week<\/a>, we talked about the challenge of loving others with God\u2019s impossible love, something we can only do with His superhuman strength.\u00a0 Today, let\u2019s explore how we can access that love, how it can be such a reality in our lives, that it becomes easier and easier to love others in the same way.<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/a><\/p>\n

So, how can we love others with this superhuman, “1 Corinthians 13”, love?\u00a0 It starts with learning to be loved, choosing to accept, experience, and live in the reality of God\u2019s impossible all-encompassing love.<\/p>\n

Choose to<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Accept the reality of God\u2019s love. Acknowledge the truth that even though you don\u2019t deserve it, God loves you in this mind-blowing, all-encompassing way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,\u00a0<\/em>does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into\u00a0<\/em>account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; <\/em>bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails; \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

    1 Corinthians 13:4-8a<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      \n
    1. Experience the reality of God\u2019s love. Knowing something, in your head, is the starting place, but experience<\/span> is what solidifies the truth in your heart and spirit.\u00a0 Only when you make the decision to trust God\u2019s love, will you experience the reality of it. \u00a0What does that look like? \u00a0It means letting go, and accepting His help\/grace. Letting go of the need for control, of self-hatred, or guilt, or hurt, or fear, or self-centeredness, or self-protection – whatever has been dominating your life, and holding you captive. And then, grabbing on to the truth that He will take care of you, and lead you in the way you need to go. It means resting in the truth that you are loved, cared for, valued, important, wanted. That you belong. That you are safe.<\/li>\n
    2. Live in the reality of God\u2019s love. Living in the reality of God\u2019s love for you, is simply this:\u00a0 practicing steps 1 and 2, over and over again, until they become a deep habit that marks the fabric of your life.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The more we live in the reality of God\u2019s love for us – the more we acknowledge the truth of it, and then choose to trust it – the more power we have to love others in the same way.<\/h4>\n

      We love because He first loved us.\u00a0 1 John 4:19<\/i><\/p>\n
