Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory – 1 Peter 1:8
One of the greatest blessings we have in the faith of Christ is the knowledge that we are loved as we love. In fact, the Scriptures are clear that we love God because He first loved us (1 John 4:19). We see this in our marriages and our relationships with children and friends. Love requires one party to make the first move, and God made that move before the world was formed. Now we love Him even though we do see Him face to face because His love moves within us. Wow. Just wow.
Jesus loves all the disciples. He lived and died for them, and He lives forever to bring them into the fold of God. Love Him. Rejoice in Him. True, we cannot lay eyes on Him directly, but we should be mindful to see His hand in all the world around us. We are never alone when we love Jesus.
