1 John 4:⁷ Beloved friends, let us love one another; because love is from G-d; and everyone who loves has G-d as his Father and knows G-d. ⁸ Those who do not love, do not know G-d; because G-d is love. ⁹ Here is how G-d showed his love among us: G-d sent his only Son into the world, so that through him we might have life. ¹⁰ Here is what love is: not that we have loved G-d, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the kapparah for our sins.

¹¹ Beloved friends, if this is how G-d loved us, we likewise ought to love one another. ¹² No one has ever seen G-d; if we love one another, G-d remains united with us, and our love for him has been brought to its goal in us. ¹³ Here is how we know that we remain united with him and he with us: he has given to us from his own Spirit. ¹⁴ Moreover, we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent his Son as Deliverer of the world. ¹⁵ If someone acknowledges that Yeshua is the Son of G-d, G-d remains united with him, and he with G-d. ¹⁶ Also we have come to know and trust the love that G-d has for us. G-d is love; and those who remain in this love remain united with G-d, and G-d remains united with them.

¹⁷ Here is how love has been brought to maturity with us: as the Messiah is, so are we in the world. This gives us confidence for the Day of Judgment. ¹⁸ There is no fear in love. On the contrary, love that has achieved its goal gets rid of fear, because fear has to do with punishment; the person who keeps fearing has not been brought to maturity in regard to love.

¹⁹ We ourselves love now because he loved us first. ²⁰ If anyone says, “I love G-d,” and hates his brother, he is a liar. For if a person does not love his brother, whom he has seen, then he cannot love G-d, whom he has not seen. ²¹ Yes, this is the command we have from him: whoever loves G-d must love his brother too.

The Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) has been doing something very NEW and different the last few nights. All through the night, I saw the words “The love of G-d…1 xxxx 4:16” and could not remember or see the book name but thought it was Corinthians. I woke up and searched the Scriptures, and it is 1 John 4:16, the verse of the day (in bold).

On this Commitment Monday, take this verse deep in your hearts and “come to know and trust the love that G-d has for us. G-d is love; and those who remain in this love remain united with G-d, and G-d remains united with them.” I always say the Most High loves us and He wants to bless us.

Walk in the love of G-d today and always.

Many of us in the US are celebrating Labor Day. If you happen to be on holiday, try to enjoy the additional day of rest. Whether working today or enjoying holiday like I am today, use today as an opportunity to tell someone else about the love of the Most High or show how you love Him by loving on your brothers and sisters in the faith.

Happy Monday, I love you and pray you have a wonderful day in the LORD. ❤️

Shalom Aleichem 🔥
