Love should be the standard in every relationship. I'm not talking about Barry White music and candles in a hot tub, but God's definition of love, selfless love, sacrificial love, unending love, in spite of brokenness, in spite of flaws.
How often do we put our own desires above the needs of others? Pastor Aaron Shaw confronts this common issue head-on in this episode of 'Cedar Point Recovery'. Reflecting on his past behavior, Pastor Shaw candidly admits to having used people for personal gain. But his journey didn't end there. Through leaning into God's teachings, he discovered the power of sacrificial love. This isn't just about being nice; it's about a radical shift in how we approach every relationship.
Pastor Shaw draws inspiration from the transformation of the disciple John, who went from being hot-headed to becoming the 'disciple of love'. He challenges listeners to evaluate their own relationships and consider if they are acting out of love or selfishness. With references to 1 John, he emphasizes that love should be the foundation of all interactions. Pastor Shaw's message is clear: let God's love guide your actions, not your brokenness.
He provides practical steps for listeners to take action, such as reassessing relationships, bringing them under God's authority, and removing toxic influences. Whether you're looking to deepen your faith or improve your relationships, this episode offers valuable insights and a call to live out sacrificial love every day.
