"No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us." 1 John 4:12 English Standard Version

Okay, so I wasn't a boy scout.  I had to look up on Pinterest how to tie this knot. I don't even remember its name. (Yes, guys, I occasionally sneak over to Pinterest to get in touch with my feminine side.) 

We often speak of marriage as "tying the knot." That cliche can have both positive and negative connotations. Tying the knot might seem restrictive to some of us, but to others it can symbolize security, or maybe even strength.

We haven't seen God, yet we know that his love is the knot that ties us to him. He has tied his knot around us and will not let go even though there is much in life that would pull us free of his love. 

John reminds us that God's love abides in us as we love others. We sense God's powerful hold on our lives as we give ourselves away in love. God's love grows to maturity in us even as we love our enemies.

So, we're a conduit of God's love. People experience his love because of the tangible nature of our love for them. That's how it works. Love is not a theory, it's action. God's love for the world, given in the gift of Jesus, is lived out today in our flesh.

Who am I? I'm a conduit of God's love flowing with the richness of his grace.
