We Can't Do It On Our Own

By guest writer Tori Andrews❤️

As much as we like to think about how much we love our families, our friends, and maybe even our careers, that love is only so strong in our own individual capacities. While this love may feel easy or like it comes naturally to us, true love can only be experienced with God’s help. In our own human capacities, unfortunately, there are so many things that naturally get in the way of love - different world views, past hurts, sin, fear, and a plethora of other common human experiences that you and I both could name.

It is only in God that love can really be perfected by His standards. If God is love, then there is no way that our human limits can even fully grasp the vastness of what love really is, let alone show it to others without God first. I’m sure we can all think of something or someone that we love or have loved and either wanted to hate or got real close to hating due to a set of certain circumstances. Because in our own strength, love is finite, but in God’s strength, it is infinite. Limitless. Unchanging. Long-suffering. Abundant. Just to name a few.
