Love
A 4 letter word that carries meaning no matter how it’s used. What does love really mean though? I know you probably have your own definition...but my meaning would be, someone who is willing to make sacrifices no matter the cost just to show you that they truly do love you. In this case, think of how God sent his only son to die on the cross for you! That’s how much Jesus loves you...that he was willing to sacrfice himself to rid us of all our sins. That’s mind blowing if you really think about it. God showed me this week that his love for us goes without borders. His love for us is that unconditional type of love that you can’t ever find anywhere else. His love NEVER FAILS!! I know you’re probably telling yourself how can God possibly love me even after I’ve made all these mistakes? Truth is he still loves you aside from all you’ve done and nothing will ever change that. In Jeremiah 1:5 it says, Before I MADE YOU in your mothers womb, I KNEW YOU. Before you were born, I CHOSE YOU for a special work.” Thinking of how much God loves me and you...just leaves me in a state of gratitude. There’s a song called Reckless Love and in this song it says “Oh the overwhelming, never ending reckless love of God. How it chases me down fights till I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine. I couldn‘t earn it, I don’t deserve it, still you give yourself away.” God will go above and beyond just to see his child living the life he intended for you to have. You will never be unworthy or ”dirty” enough for God to ever love you. You will never be “too much” for God to show you his love. God is always willing to forgive you and when he does he never brings it back up again. Like a guest speaker in church said today...When was the last time that you actually let yourself feel God’s love? If you can’t think of the last time that you allowed yourself then today will be that day! God is motivated by love and everything that he does is out of compassion. He cares deeply for you and only wants your best interest. If some things don’t work out for you then know that because God loves you he wants the absolute best! I encourage you today to let God love the ugly stuff in your life because He loves every part of you ♥️
