River or Reservoir?
When you experience (not just believe) the love of God,
You will be changed because you cannot genuinely experience God's love
without loving others. Your love for others will flow out of His love for you.
Because the flow is controlled by Him,
You will be functioning as a River,
"We love because he first loved us." 1 John 1:9

However, if you believe that God's love for you has been earned
or 'you deserve it', you will love others only in your own strength.
The flow will only come out of your will or duty.
Because the flow is controlled by you,
you will be functioning as a Reservoir
"The person who doesn't love does not know
God, because God is love." 1 John 4:8

That sound you hear is of a broken record !
(For those under the age of 40 - you probably don't even
know what a record is - much less what it sounds like)
