Day 19: Love Without Limits Scripture: 1 John 4:9–10 (KJV) “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”Powerful Intro Love is more than a feeling—it’s a force that came for us, found us, and frees us. God’s love did not wait for us to deserve it; it broke into our world in the person of Jesus. This love is limitless, sacrificial, and life-giving. When we receive it, we don’t just feel loved—we are empowered to love without fear and without measure.Affirmation God’s limitless love fills my life, bringing purpose and hope.Word of the Day Agape: The self-giving, unconditional love of God that seeks our highest good and acts sacrificially to secure it.Lesson God’s love for us is boundless and sacrificial; it is the standard by which we measure all love. His love inspires us to extend love freely to others.Three Scripture-Backed Takeaways

1. God’s love starts with Him, not us.

• “Not that we loved God, but that he loved us…” (1 John 4:10)
• “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
• Takeaway: You don’t earn this love—you receive it. It is rooted in Christ’s finished work.

2. God’s love gives life and drives out fear.

• “That we might live through him.” (1 John 4:9)
• “Perfect love casteth out fear.” (1 John 4:18)
• Takeaway: God’s love is not passive. It revives, restores, and replaces fear with confident trust.

3. God’s love is our model and mandate.

• “Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.” (1 John 4:11)
• “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” (John 13:35)
• Takeaway: The proof we understand God’s love is that we extend it—practically, visibly, consistently.

How to Apply Now

1. Receive and rest

• Pray: “Father, I receive Your agape love through Jesus. Root me and ground me in it today.”
• Meditate on 1 John 4:10 for five minutes; breathe slowly and let the truth settle into your heart.

2. Practice sacrificial love today

• Choose one person to serve in a tangible way: a forgiving text, a meal, a ride, or a generous gift.
• Do it without expecting anything in return (Luke 6:35).

3. Replace fear with love

• When anxiety rises, speak 1 John 4:18 aloud and your affirmation.
• Journal one situation where love—not fear—will guide your next step, then take that step.
