God’s Love of Man
God loves you.
You’re rebellious,
you cheat,
you commit immorality,
you’re selfish,
you sin,
but God loves you with an intensity

Love had a Beginning
We love, because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19, AMP)
How full is your love meter these days? Have you been loving others in the way that God loves you? Love means not being critical, judgmental, and bitter towards others. Love means putting on the fullness of Christ and walking out the righteousness we’ve been called to daily. Let’s check in with the Apostle John and see just how well we’re doing with this whole Love thing!
“Dear friends, let us love one another…”
God So Loved
For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. (John 3:16-17, AMP)
Love Divine
Love divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heaven to earth come down;
Fix in us thy humble dwelling;
All thy faithful mercies crown!
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation;
Enter every trembling heart.
Lost in Your Love
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge–that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:17-19)
I’m so blessed by the depth of God’s love. I know that I have a bad attitude some days, I’m selfish other days, I tend to want my way sometimes, I think things that I shouldn’t, and the list goes on. But God continues to pour out His love in my life. He continues to shape me and mold me into all that He desires me to be.
He doesn’t say, “He’ll love me when I’m good enough.” He doesn’t say, “He’ll love me when I stop falling.” He doesn’t say, “He’ll love me when I stop being selfish.” He doesn’t put a price tag on His love. He doesn’t make me work for it. He simply loves me. What an astounding thought! God’s love has no measure! His love is vast and He truly lavishes it upon us. Wow, what a beautiful picture! I can’t help but smile thinking about it.
