This morning I was ready my about God's unconditional love and felt prompted to blog about what God was saying to me.
Sometimes I feel God's unconditional love is very hard for me to comprehend, grasp, even understand. His love is nothing like human love. Human love is about the person, the actions, the word, the feelings. God's love is about who He is! HE IS LOVE! We can't control God's love, we can't stop it, push it away, mess it up, or run from it. It is always there and there is nothing we can do that will change that.
God's love doesn't rely on actions, His or ours! He loves you even if you are not healed or are going through a horrible storm in your life. Bad things happen and that is part of the sinful world we live in, it has NOTHING to do with how much God loves you! Just like grace, we don't have to earn His love, it's always there. We don't have to do anything special or serve him for so many hours or pray a certain way. It is just there and it is ALWAYS there! He created us and therefore He loves us!
A chorus of a song by 33 Miles sings about God's love and how it always will be.
I loved you then, I love you now
I will love you tomorrow
When this world breaks you down
I will give you strength to stand
Look to me, take my hand and just believe
Before this day ever began, I loved you then
1 John 4:16 - And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God and God in him.
The first part of that verse says we are to rely on the love God has for us. The dictionary defines the word rely to depend confidently or to put trust in. We are to depend on or put trust in that God's love will always be there regardless of where you are, what crazy storm you are in or what the world around us looks like. His love is steadfast, unconditional and so very, very real!!!
He will ALWAYS love you tomorrow!!!
