River or Reservoir?

Picture
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 


Picture
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)
