When your heart is fixed on Me
You will see people like I do
It is through adversity
Your love will be proved true

Most things of great value
Have a cost that’s very high
When I saw through love’s view
On the cross I chose to die

Let this same thought be in you
To give your life for those
Your selfish thoughts subdue
As My Spirit in you grows

Now that you know the way
A life of love pursue
My power you’ll display
Your enemies you’ll subdue

1 Thessalonians 2:19–20 – “For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? 20 Indeed, you are our glory and joy.”

1 John 4:10–12 – “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.”

1 John 2:9–11, 3:11-24

I love this memorable quote from Mark Twain, “The most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”
What do you feel is the purpose for your life on earth? Could it be to learn to love how God loves? We could have never understood this in the perfection of heaven. Let us not miss any opportunity to grow in this area for that is the heart of the matter.
