Focus: Home Of Love

Text: Rom.5:5

"The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."

The Holy Spirit in the believer's heart is God's gift to him. The Spirit of the Lord is the one through whom the love of God is poured forth into our hearts as Christians.

Indeed the Spirit is the Fountain of love in the heart of God's children. The heart of a Christian is a sacred home to divine love. God's love melts our hearts and sets it on fire. Our life flows from the heart of love. Our choices and actions are determined from the heart saturated with God's love.

About this love divine, Petrarch said, "Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to life and is prophetic of eternal good."

God is love, and God's people are meant to be the people of love. God's banner over us is love. Love is the key to a healthy and happy living. The heart is love's home. God's love feels at home in our hearts. Love is truthful, faithful and hopeful. It's loyal and royal. Make your heart roomy enough to accommodate and enthrone God's love!
