he is love.
he is the creator of love.
he shows us love.
so how does God show his love in our lives today?
--- his love is shown through the forgiveness he granted us on the cross when he died for our sins.
--- his love is shown through the trees. the flowers. the sunset. the coming & going of the waves.
--- his love is shown through his provision. through healing of the body.
--- his love is shown through the miracle of a newborn baby.
how do YOU see God's love in your life?
there are different kinds of love. a mother's love for her child. a husband's love for his wife. a child's love for a toy. but HIS love is different still. His love is everlasting. it never ends. did you catch that?! it NEVER ENDS. that means no matter what we do. no matter how many mistakes we make. God still loves us the same. yesterday. and today.
~ "For God so loved the world that he gave his one & only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." {John 3:16, NIV}
~ "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins." {1 Peter 4:8, NIV}
~ "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners Christ died for us." {Romans 5:8, NIV}
listen to this: God's love for YOU is so wide. deep. vast. that he let his son Jesus die. so that we could live. His love for YOU is so great. never ending.
God's love was there for you in your greatest sin. in your darkest time. His love still remained....remember that.
in whatever you're facing today. right now. in this moment. know that God's love is with you. he's right beside you. his love will lift you up. he's stronger than you. you don't have to walk through the valley alone. when all is stripped away. this one thing remains. love.
find God's love today. in his creation. in your workplace. in his still small voice. in your time of prayer. he has a never ending amount of love to lavish on every one of us.
