“又愿主叫你们彼此相爱的心，和爱众人的心，都充充足足，多而又多，好象我们爱你们一样。”
帖撒罗尼迦前书 3:12
“May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.”
1 Thessalonians 3:12
"I'm not sure I can love them any more! My supply of love is gone, my capacity to love is exhausted." Yes, there are times when it seems others will exhaust our ability to love, either because of their need being so great or because of their unwillingness to love in return.
How do we go on? We need a community of love; other believers who will support and love us. We need brothers and sisters in Christ who will pray for God to increase our capacity to love.
We need to trust that in response to all of our prayers, God will pour more love into our hearts through His everflowing stream of grace, the Holy Spirit (cf. Rom. 5:5).
When love is low, don't withdraw or give up. Draw near to God and draw near to His people asking for His grace to help in your time of need (Heb. 4:16).
