A LITTLE girl went up to a preacher one day and said to him: “Mr. P.—, I do not love Jesus, but I wish you would tell me how I could love Him.”
“Well, my little girl,” he replied, “when you are going home today, just you say to yourself, ‘Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me!’ and I am certain you will come back next Sunday saying, ‘I love Jesus.’ "
The following Sunday, as Mr. P.—saw the little girl approaching him again, he could tell from the joy that was beaming in her face that she had something very different to say to him now.
“I love Jesus now,” she said. “Last Sunday, as I went home repeating the words you told me to say, I saw Jesus nailed to the cross and dying in agony for me. Then my heart seemed to be set on fire and immediately was filled with love for Him.”
The law demanded love. “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.” Luke 10:2727And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. (Luke 10:27).
Christ displayed love, divine love, in His life and death, and when His love is shed abroad in our hearts and we are made partakers of the divine nature which is Love, then Love is produced in us as a natural consequence.
“We love Him, because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:1919We love him, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19).
