God’s love is not just an external force that acts upon us but is actually manifested in us. It continues to grow the longer we walk in Him. This marvelous process was made possible by the life and work of Jesus Christ. 
It is a strange thing for us that we might live life through another, specifically through the Word who became flesh, our savior, Jesus.  For our culture has been teaching from a young age about a different love and life.  One of conditions and self promotion.  We know God’s love is different.  

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” ~ ‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭NASB‬‬

There is no greater love than the love of our Father in heaven!

This kind of love can endure the darkest of circumstances and still overflow with joy.  Remember Paul’s assessment: 

 “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” ~ ‭Romans‬ ‭8:18‬ ‭NASB

May the love of God be freely manifested in your heart today; having its way in every area of your life because of the beautiful and selfless work of our Savior Jesus.  Let joy abound in the place of sorrows.  For our hope is secure despite our present circumstances.
