When we live with love, we are inseparable from God because God is love. Love is not only a feeling but also a choice and action. We who believe in Christ put our faith and trust in Him because we believe He died on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead, and therefore offers salvation to all. We didn't earn salvation; God gives it to us as a free gift, for He loves us so much that He sacrificed His one and only Son to save us so we can have eternal life and be with Him forever. When we live in love, we live in God, and God is in us. People cannot see God, but they can see God lives within us when we, as true Christians, practice His love. Jesus has shown us perfectly what it means to love. Our job is to share His perfect love with people around us so that God can reveal Himself to others through us.
Dear Heavenly Father, when I have You and Your love in me, I feel peace, contentment, blessedness, and power. Help me to walk continually in the Light of the truth of Your love, for You are love. Fill me with Your Spirit so that I can be more loving to the people that You have called me to love. Remove any hindrance that may prevent me from living in the love of Jesus Christ. LORD, bless me with Your love. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.

1 John 2:5
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1 John 4:1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
