I thought I knew what love was but I never fully comprehended that God is actually the definition. It was a few years ago when I actually realized what it means that God is Love. Literally…He is. We cannot and do not know that word or that feeling if we do not believe in who He is.
There was no shortage of Him during the week in Eswatini. From the arrival and the time spent with the parents who hadn’t seen their kids in 7 months, to the playing, the discipling, praying, singing, and even the foot washing of the young children at the ministry care-points, His love was EVERYWHERE!
I was honored to share in this time with all 109 of us gathered. Growing together in our own faith, we learned that some parents actually became Christians on this trip. We witnessed offspring in a role parents had never seen them. We saw them encouraging their parents, praying over them, and lovingly sharing with each other about their own walk with God. We witnessed Love…over and over again.
I am VERY grateful for your support and prayers during this experience. I am putting together a video that I am excited to share very soon!
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
