God's Love for you and me.......


God's Love for you and me……..

 

God is the source and fountain of love. He is the wonderful creator, the Supreme Lawgiver, and the Eternal lover. "Love is his Nature and Essence. So that whatever God intends and designs, Love intends and designs. Love is the directing principle in all His actions." Love is the central theme of His teaching. God said we should love not only our friends, but also our enemies, We should love God with all our heart, soul mind and strength, "God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life"(John 3:16). Why did God do this? His Eternal Love is the only reason and answer for such a question. He saw that this was the only way to free the human race from the bondage of sin. From Jesus' tender heart love, love pours forth in a ceaseless stream of gentle words and kindly deeds.  How much it meant for God the son to die for the human race must remain a mystery. We are made free from the power of sin. This is possible because we are no longer under the law but under the grace of a loving God. Love causes us to take our eyes off of ourselves and to pay our attention on someone else. God loves us freely, and because of that we are responsible for loving others. Love causes us to consider other's needs before our own-like Jesus did. Love makes us to sacrifice when we are tempted to be selfish just like Jesus did. Love matters because it encourages us to build one another up. Sometimes we might not find true love among our own people because they might not even know what it is. We might be hurt because we try to find love in this world when we are in need of it, and the fact is we can't actually get through others. But our God is an Eternal Lover. His love is selfless, true and unchanging. Like people, He doesn't love you today and forget you or leave you tomorrow. As mentioned, eternal means forever which lasts for ages. You might wonder and question yourself why does God love me this much which I can't even measure. The answer is He loves you more than you can even imagine or dream. Depend on God for the love you want. You will find comfort and care only in His Love.
