The
Proof of Genuine Love
Love always needs a visible object. It must be real and practical, not theoretical and sentimental.
Unfocused love means nothing.
Just as God’s love was focused on us, even so our love must be focused on those around us!
Love begins with those closest to us. It’s easy to “love” people we haven’t seen, rather then those we see everyday. Slide11
The
Proof of Genuine Love
We are to love those we have seen even though they are unlovely because that is precisely how God loves us.
He
sees us in all our unloveliness and loves us anyway
