In Max Lucado’s book, A Love Worth Living, we find that God loves us personally, powerfully and passionately. When we know that He fills us with His love, we can love others with the same kind of love. This book was recently given to our library and is on the shelves under the number 231.6/Luc.

pricked the hearts and minds of readers for decades. Now, he boldly says that before we can pass love on, we must receive it ourselves--from God. Pointing out that we must "love one another," Lucado issues an impassioned plea to accept God's love in order to truly, unselfishly, wholeheartedly love another. God wants us to drink deeply of His love, soak it up, and marvel at its depth.
*I've read this book a couple of times. A wonderful reminder that you can't give out what you don't take in. Accepting God's love into ourselves allows us to love others.*
