(NOTE: this will be your last devotion for this week as my family is away getting so fam-time! See you on Monday.)
God loves you and me no matter what. That's it. Nothing else changes that fact. Not something we do or so. Not somewhere we go or someone we are with. All that makes God's love real is God.
That thought has continued to rock through my head all week. We have to get it. I often talk to people who think that God could not love them or what they have done is so bad that God's love is out of their reach. Fact is, we are never out of reach of God's love. What is often out of line is that we close the door on letting God love us.
Some people do that to their spouse or their parents or friends, don't let them love. We do that to God as well.
Here's the deal ... STOP IT. Let God love you, now...no matter what. Think about it:
Toby Mac's song Made To Love (From the album Portable Sounds)
The dream is fading now I am staring at the door
I know it's over cause my feet have hit the cold floor
Check my reflection, I ain't feeling what I see
It's no mystery
What ever happened to a passion I could live for?
What became of the flame that made me feel more?
And when did I forget…
Chours:
That I was made to love You
I was made to find You
I was made just for You Made to adore You
I was made to love and be loved by You
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And You said You'd keep me never would You leave me
I was made to love
And be loved by You
The dreams alive with my eyes open wide
Back in the ring You got me swingin' for the grand prize
I feel the haters spittin' vapors on my dreams
But I still believe…
I'm reachin' out, reachin' up, reachin' over
I feel a breeze cover me called Jehovah
And Daddy I'm on my way…
Chorus:
Anything I would give up for You
Everything I give it all away
That is powerful. God's love is awesome and has got to be spread by the way we let God love us, by the way we love ourselves and the way we give His love away. Let God love you, now!
Romans 5:8 (nlt) --- But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
1 John 4:11 (nlt) --- Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.
1 John 4:16 (nlt) --- We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.
Ephesians 3:18 (nlt) --- And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.
