“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” [1 John 4:7-8]
“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” [Romans 5:8]
What joy! What amazing joy is found in those two verses. God is love. And that magnificent love flows to us while “we were still sinners.”
We are His enemies. We shake our fists and say that we will not have this God rule over us. And still He loves us. We crucified His Precious Son, and He loves us still.
His love sets us free. I heard an inspirational speaker (Ken David) say that God’s love means we have nothing to prove to anyone, we have nothing to hide, and we have nothing to lose. (Still ruminating on those thoughts.)
I know that God’s love, His overwhelming, never ending, reckless love has set me free. I know that with my head, and I am learning to immerse my heart deep in that love. Each day, I seek more and more of the knowledge and experience of that love.
