Looks like we cannot satisfy Jesus with just a “I love you.” He wants that love to come from our hearts. He wants us to love him more than anybody else. He wants us to love him more than we love anybody or anything else. He wants us to prove our love for him with action. He can bless us and fill us with his love only if we love him wholeheartedly. He is not after our love but he wants to make us suitable to be filled with his love. For that reason Jesus will ask us whether we love him any number of times.
When we start to love him, he will give his Holy Spirit to us in return. With the Holy Spirit in us, Jesus wants us to love others as he loved us, as he loves us.
When we become the witnesses to and ambassadors of his love, we can live a fearless, stress free and joyful life in any situation. Let us love him boldly without forgetting all his benefits. Let us long for the Holy Spirit who helps us to stay in the love of Jesus.
