God has extended a never ending love to us. It is a love that he had for us even before he created us. When everyone else can walk away, taking their conditional love with them, we have a love that never changes or leaves us. And this love will remain throughout eternity.
His love saves, heals, delivers, and sets us free. It protects, provides, restores, and encourages us. His love is powerful beyond measure and it causes us to become more than we could ever be in our own strength, but only when we come into the realization that it exists and we accept Him.
His love has transforming power that causes us to want to live in the image and mind of Christ. It teaches us how to love others just as Jesus has loved us. Without his love I surely would fail. Fail not just at the things I put my hands to to prosper, but I would fail in building and maintaining relationships, fail at being a parent, fail at work, fail at being faithful to the many things God has called me to and overall fail at life.
As i look back over my life, only after God opened my eyes and I accepted His love for me, have I seen my life transformed by his love and saving grace. I’m not who I used to be, I don’t do the things I used to do and even when life is serving me sour lemons and the raining storms are beating on me, His love provides hope, joy, and peace. In his love there is no fear of people, situations or the unknown.
Have you seen God’s love working in your life?
Romans 8:37-39 (KJV)
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ephesians 2:4-5 (KJV)
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Ephesians 2:4-5 (KJV)
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Woman of God on a mission to spread love most of all, kindness and the truth about the Savior. I thank Him daily for saving and keeping me, bringing me into the knowledge of Him and steadily making intercession for me on behalf of the Father. Every lesson that I give goes to me first. I speak not as though I am different but that I am the same as any other follower of Christ, seeking wisdom and understanding from God and depending on Him fully to provide everything that I need in this life.
