This is Love

“This is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us."  ~  John 4:10

Love never fails!

Wait a minute, no one has unfailing love!  No person can love with perfection. 

That’s right. But God is not a person. Unlike our love, his love never fails! God’s love is immensely different from ours. Ours depends on the receiver of the love. Our love will be regulated by appearance or by personality. Even when we find a few people we like, our feelings will still fluctuate.

Does God love us because of our goodness? Because of our kindness? Because of our great faith?

No.He loves us because of HIS goodness, kindness, and great faith. The love of God is born from within him, not from what he finds in us.  His love is uncaused, spontaneous. God loves you simply because he has chosen to do so!

You Are God’s Child You are God’s child, and God will give you the blessing he promised!     ~ Galatians 4:7 I can’t assure you your family will ever give you the blessing you seek—but I know God will! If your earthly father doesn’t affirm you, then let your heavenly Father take his place! It’s one thing to accept him as Lord, another to recognize him as Savior. To recognize God as Lord is to acknowledge that he is sovereign and supreme in the universe. To accept him as Savior is to accept his gift of salvation offered on the cross.  To regard him as Father is to go a step further! A father is the one in your life who provides and protects. That is exactly what God has done. He has provided for your needs. Protected you from harm. Adopted you. And he has given you his name!   ***
