Love: Day 4
God’s love for us is life-giving! As it is explained in our Scripture reading today, God’s great love for us is the reason behind His giving us new life in Christ. There isn’t anything a whole more powerful than to be brought from death to life. That is the amazing change that we go through. It is not because of anything we do or say, but because of God’s great love for us. You see, we cannot earn His love. It is a free gift. The opposite is also true. We cannot get to a point where God does not love us. No matter what we do, He will love us just the same. What an amazing truth for people who make mistakes just like me and you. God’s love not only saves us from death and punishment, but also never changes! How wonderful to know that the love of God is not like our own which changes by the moment! His life-giving love is ours forever!
Prayer focus: Thank God that His love is not earned or lost. Ask God to remind you that He loves you no more and no less than He ever has-no matter what you’ve done.
