25-334 — A Love Letter From God: “Love the Way I Love You”

John 13:34–35 (ESV)“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you…”

My child,

You’ve felt the weight of trying to love people who are not easy to love.You’ve wondered why it feels so hard to be patient, to forgive, to stay soft when your heart wants to shut down.

So hear Me clearly:

I never asked you to love from your own strength.I asked you to love from Mine.

When My Son said, “Love one another as I have loved you,” He knew your limits.He saw every wound, every betrayal, every misunderstanding you would ever face.He wasn’t ignoring your pain — He was inviting you into My power.

You think love makes you vulnerable.But real love — My love — is your greatest protection.

When you choose patience instead of anger,when you choose forgiveness instead of revenge,when you choose to listen instead of attack,you are not being weak…

You are walking in the same love that carried Jesus to the cross.

The enemy wants you to believe that guarding your heart means closing it.But I am teaching you a different way:

Guard your heart by rooting it in Me.Let Me heal what others have broken.Let Me soften what pain has hardened.Let Me love people through you when you feel empty.

You will not always feel loving.You will not always feel understood.But every time you choose love anyway,you look like My Son —and hell loses ground.

You are not failing just because love feels costly.You are growing.

My love in you is stronger than the hurt around you.Let Me love them through you.

With everlasting love,— Your Father
