1 Timothy 1:5
The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.

Pure Heart - Knowing that God loves you

Clear Conscience - Knowing that your sins are forgiven

Genuine Faith - Knowing that God is in control

This is what Paul is writing to his young friend Timothy.
Paul wants to make it clear that all believers need to be filled with love. 
Can we love everyone with a pure heart...actually can we love everyone?
Can we love with a clear conscience...knowing that we are not perfect?
Can we love in genuine faith...that is the big question?  

What does being filled with love feel like?
-Looking at my babies after they were just born, yes.
-Seeing my girls spend time together peacefully, yes.
-Looking at Bill when things are going right, yes.
-Being wrapped in Bill's arms as I fall to sleep, yes.
-Watching my daughters and their husbands enjoying each others company, yes.
-Looking at the beauty of the world in the stars at night, a rainbow, the colors of Fall, the stillness of snow, the sound of the ocean, and the peace of a sunrise, yes.

Lord, give me a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith so I will be filled with love for all believers as You would have me do.    Amen.
