Tuesday, December 3

We love, because he first loved us.—1 John 4:19.

 

When we consider how much Jehovah and Jesus love us, we are moved to love them in return. (1 John 4:10) We love them even more when we realize that Jesus died for us personally. The apostle Paul acknowledged this and expressed his appreciation when he wrote to the Galatians, saying: “The Son of God . . . loved me and handed himself over for me.” (Gal. 2:20) On the basis of the ransom, Jehovah has drawn you to him so that you can be his friend. (John 6:44) Does it not warm your heart to know that Jehovah has seen something good in you and that he paid the highest price so that you can be counted as his friend? Does it not strengthen your love for Jehovah and Jesus? We do well to ask ourselves, ‘What will that love compel me to do?’ Our love for God and Christ moves us to show love to others.—2 Cor. 5:14, 15; 6:1, 2. w23.01 28 ¶6-7

An elderly sister told a story of a young woman who was engaged to a soldier in WWII. Sadly he died in battle and they were never married.

She was left with a beautiful engagement ring which she treasured...

 

She later came in the truth. She heard of a young faithful brother who was about to proposed to his girlfriend, but he couldn't afford a ring.. she gave him her most treasured possession.

 

Jehovah's most treasured possession is his only begotten son, and he gave us his son when we needed it.

 

He really really loves us
