1 John 4:8b (Like a Symphony)
1 John 4:8b
What can we learn about love from reading 1 John 4:8b, using the analogy of music?
Like a Symphony
God is love.
1 John 4:8b
God’s love for us is like a symphony uniquely written in our hearts. When we do not prioritize our relationship with Him, the music is still there, but we can barely hear it. Once we choose to open our hearts to a closer relationship with God, something new stirs within us. We begin to experience His love as more extraordinary than we ever could have imagined.
