God has always and will unfailingly love us. However, His delight is manifested when we lay down our lives for one another. Why should we believe as disciples of Jesus that God would expect any less from us? The phone may ring at 3 a.m. and someone may need to get together for a cup of coffee to pour their heart out. Or, the person upstairs in the building we live in may need some help to move some furniture. How will we respond? Are we ready to lay down our lives no matter what the circumstance?
While these are notable acts of kindness, God the Father desires a much greater love than this. He desires that we love not the world, but passionately lay our lives down for Him and all He is. It means giving our heart only to Him and to no other. When we do this, then the random acts of kindness will be rivers that naturally flow from us. Are we ready to go on in God? This, my friends, is the key to abiding in Christ and experiencing the peace and joy of the Father.
