But Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. (Genesis 33:4 ESV)
Love Multiplied
I enjoy Star Trek, and therefore I desire the rest of you to enjoy Star Trek, too. I enjoy bacon, and therefore I desire the rest of you to enjoy bacon, too. I enjoy Christmas, and therefore I desire the rest of you to enjoy Christmas, too.
But I do not have the power to cause you to like those things.
God, however, does.
God loves, and therefore He desires His children to love, too.
And He can bring our hearts to love even our bitterest enemies.
No one would have thought Esau and Jacob would weep with joy at their reunion. But God changed them.
In a bigger way, no one would have thought that a rebellious sinner like me would be ever growing in my love of the One True Living God.
God is love, and He multiplies that love through His people.
So love more.
