The reality is that God loves us...and no, his love isn't like the everyday natural likeness which we often mistake for love. His love is enduring, long suffering, eternal and everlasting. His love is so DEAR that He was unwilling to hold back the ultimate sacrifice to reconcile us back to himself. God's love for us is DANGEROUS, DESPERATE and UNHINDERED. His love was not held back by the forces of hell, not thrown off by the grossness of our own sins and is by no means hindered by our present situations and circumstances in life.
God is not like man who can love you today and crucify you tomorrow. His word says can a nursing mother forget her baby? This kind of situation is quite hard to find yet possible...He says EVEN IF A MOTHER COULD FORGET HER BABY, HE WILL NEVER FORGET US...He has engraved our name in the palm of His hands that we should forever be in His remembrance...God's love is multi-dimensional. Its high, long, wide, deep and able to penetrate the worst of circumstances. This alone should put a smile on your face! If you have ever felt like no one understands, no one cares, no one knows, i've got good news for you....GOD LOVES YOU.
There are many people in life who have gone through their entire life without a father or a mother or have been through divorces and heart breaks and heart wrenching situations where it seemed as though everyone that should love you have let you down and you bear in your heart a burden of bitterness and hatred towards those people. I just want to let you know, GOD'S love for you is better than that. It's impossible to fully comprehend the intensity of God's love for you. He loves you so much, He is willing to give lives for your sake!
His love caused Him, the King of all kings, Creator of Heaven and Earth, GOD ALMIGHTY, to come down to earth, be cursed at, take on our sins, become a curse himself by hanging on a tree, bleed and die for you and for me to be redeemed back to himself. Think about it this way - a prostitute and drug addict owes her pimp and supplier a huge sum of money. She is so deep in her mess that she has now become the property of her pimp. She cant leave him because he owns her and she cant pay the amount she owes because its more than just the sum - she owes him in cash and kind - but there is this very wealthy, influential and popular guy from afar who has loved her for as long as she's been a prostitute and is sick of seeing this pimp treat her as badly as he does so what does he decide to do? He goes to the pimp and decides to trade himself for the woman. He is beaten up, spat on and made to endure the harshest of treatments in her place and eventually dies for her JUST so that she can be free!!! Its impossible to think of this scenario in our world because it simply seems like a stupid thing to do but that's exactly what God did for you and for me....His love drove Him to foolishness (if i may put it that way).
His love is really just amazing. He is the only friend that will never leave, never forsake, never deny you, never overburden you, never give you up and never ever fail. So today, i beg you with the mercies of God, get to know His love.
