A Heart That Reflects God's Love-4

Love expects nothing in return

 

When we are loving toward someone, we tend to expect something in return. But that is not what God's Word teaches us.  "But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil" (Luke 6:35). When we love as God loves, being "kind to the unthankful and evil" (Luke 6:35), we can love without any thought of personal reward.
