It's also mindblowing to think that God is love, and in loving more, we're becoming more like Him! xxJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543574650970283141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604599300840128865.post-42782409553660860592017-06-15T15:15:25.857-05:002017-06-15T15:15:25.857-05:00Of course!

The more we fall in love with Him and realize His grace, the more we will desire to be with Him. ♥ More Jesus = More Love. =)Hosanna Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326767494489236766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604599300840128865.post-59823286820678588232017-06-14T13:05:22.594-05:002017-06-14T13:05:22.594-05:00What a great way to spread God's love, Kara!

However, right now I'll be working with underprivileged kids this summer which will be an amazing opportunity to do just that - spread my Savior's love to someone who may never get a chance to experience it in his or her's young life.

When we do that, we truly do have more awe at what He has done for us, and more love for others based off that response. Also, I think that just keeping close to Jesus and asking Him for more of His love to shine through our lives is another wonderful place to start. What do you think?<br />Of course, we can't have a right perspective unless we're spending time with Him anyway, so you were right on. =) <br />Thanks for sharing these thoughts, Hosanna! xxEmily https://www.blogger.com/profile/16623387781694321843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604599300840128865.post-74522064387091824512017-06-13T20:43:46.780-05:002017-06-13T20:43:46.780-05:00Yes indeed... more love is a must for everyone!

If we view ourselves for who we truly are (sinners saved by the grace of God), we will be able to stand before God with utter humility and reverence for the love He has shown us. And then we can show that same humility and love to those around us - realizing that God made them in <i>His</i> image and likeness. And if God chooses to love them, shouldn't we? (I haven't mastered this nor am even close though...these are just some thoughts) =) What do you think are other key aspects of developing love in our hearts?Hosanna Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326767494489236766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604599300840128865.post-34238445930802774732017-06-11T11:43:44.835-05:002017-06-11T11:43:44.835-05:00This was such a wonderful post!
