There is an order to love that we can follow.
Welcome to "Inside The Cup Podcast" with Mike and Holly Walsh
Season 1: "How to Love Your Neighbor as Yourself"
Episode 10: "An Order to Love"
We are told that, "We love because he first loved us" (1 John 4:19). So, if our goal is to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, there is an order to love that we follow in learning to do it. Mike and Holly discuss a teaching from Dallas Willard on the order we follow with love, first drawing in God's love for us and loving God in return, and out of the overflow of that dynamic then, loving our neighbors.
Just trying to love your neighbor, while skipping the first steps, will not work out well.
Mike and Holly also discuss the individual journey of coming to see that God is good and that he loves us. They also mention the steps of inner transformation, or cleaning the "inside of the cup" we will cover throughout season one, which will make us an appropriate vessel for God to fill with his love. These themes will be discussed in great detail in future episodes.
