DID YOU LEARN TO LOVE?
I have called you My anointed child, after My own name, destined to reflect My image. Dear one, as you are overcoming so much pain, remember I suffered all the same things for you and for the whole world.
You see all the imperfections that are being burned out of the flesh and soul. I only look for love. Remember, that in everything you do and all that you are, only your motive of love is what matters. Whenever you see My heart, I will ask you, “And did you learn to love?” The only way you can love is to not focus on your own miseries and failures, but to focus on My heart which is to serve and lift others. I know that deep inside your service is a heart which loves.
1 John 4:16-21 NLT
God is love , and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we are like Christ here in this world.
Such love has no fear because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of judgment, and this shows that his love has not been perfected in us. We love each other as a result of his loving us first.
If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we have not seen? And God himself has commanded that we must love not only him but our Christian brothers and sisters, too.

Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, the Life… and He died for you.
