Sometimes God’s love seems so distant. But it’s not. It’s personal. He loves each of us in a way that is so unconditional and so complete, that it is hard for us to understand. Because let’s face it, we don’t really love like that.
For example, if our spouse cheats on us, we sometimes divorce them. If a friends betrays us, we often just cut them out of our life. And when someone disagrees with us often enough, we may stop spending time with us.
And then there are those who harm us. And those who protest FOR the very things we think are wrong.
But we could be any of those people, and God would still love us. Because His love is truly unconditional.
There is nothing we can do that will cause God to stop loving us. While we are alive, there is no sin that would stop Him from loving us. The closest we come to that on earth, is the love a mother or father has for their child. Because that love is so incredible.
What have I done to deserve love like this. I can not earn what you so freely give” – Love like this, Lauren Daigle
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8
“This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” -John 4:9-10
It’s hard sometimes to realize or even to believe in God’s Love for us. We don’t deserve it. We didn’t earn it. But God gives it to us anyway 🙂
