What's Your Love Level?

What is your Love Level? You don’t know? Let me help you figure it out. Do you determine your value by what you get on Valentine’s Day? Do you feel unloved because nobody says, “I Love you”? Do you wish that someone would just appreciate you? Then I can tell you that your Love Level is ‘low’. But then again, it could be ‘medium’. Maybe it’s ‘high’. Actually it could be anywhere on the radar because you only received ‘conditional’ Love. When your Love Level is based on condition, it will always fluctuate. It will always move based on what you feel, see, or hear.

“Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is Love you. Keep company with Him and learn a life of Love. Observe how Christ Loved us. His Love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't Love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.” Ephesians 5:1-2 MSG

It’s not until you receive ‘unconditional’ Love from God that you’ll be able to give ‘unconditional’ Love to others. You can’t give what you don’t have. Max Lucado said, “Instructing people to Love without telling them they are Loved is like telling them to write a check without our making a deposit in their accounts. No wonder so many relationships are overdrawn. Hearts have insufficient Love.” It’s unconditional Love that keeps your Love Level high and makes it stay there. Why? Unconditional Love is not based on conditions. It’s based on a promise. Unconditional Love says, “I’ll Love you no matter the conditions.” Although we all like to hear “I Love you", unconditional Love is to be demonstrated rather than dictated (Romans 5:8). It is to be put into action rather than put into words.

“Dear children, let’s not merely say that we Love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.”
1 John 3:18 NLT

Can we Love like this? With God’s help we can. Can our Love Level remain ‘high’? With God’s help we can. Can our Love make a difference? With God’s help, sure we can.
