When Our Love Meets His: Learning Divine Affection

Bible Verse:“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” – John 15:13Diary Entry:Human love can be fragile — we love with conditions, expectations, and limits. But divine love is steady. It gives without keeping score. I’ve been guilty of loving to receive, loving out of fear, or loving from brokenness. But God keeps showing me the difference between emotional attachment and divine affection. His love purifies mine.Words of Encouragement:When you love from a healed heart, you mirror Heaven. Don’t settle for shallow love when God is teaching you to love deeply. Divine love requires maturity — it says, “I choose to love even when it’s inconvenient.” As you align with His nature, your relationships will shift from draining to divine.Journal Prompt:Where have I been loving from emotion instead of divine purpose?Prayer:God, help me to love like You do — sacrificially, purely, and unconditionally. Refine my heart so that my love reflects Yours. Amen.
