GOD’S IMMEASURABLE LOVE
Eph. 3:18 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 really is. NLT
It takes power, the
power of God at work within us, for us to get a grasp on how great God’s love
for us is. It is only as we live in
Christ faithfully that we begin to understand that we are loved by God. God’s love for us surpasses anything else we
have ever known before. It is broader,
longer, higher and deeper than we can ever fully grasp.
The wonder of God’s
love is that there is more than enough of it for everyone who has ever lived or
shall live to be saved. There is no
human being who is beyond the desire of God to love them and save them. How can it be? How can God love all humanity equally? How can God love each of us adequately? I don’t know, but He does.
The more we experience
the love of God for us, the more we come to realize that we cannot contain or
measure His love. There is no time ever
in which God does not love us. He loves
us during the good and bad times of our walk with Him. He loves us with great understanding. He loves us no matter how we might fail Him.
Man’s love is fickle. It is unreliable and can easily be
offended. Man’s love is so often
dependent on the love of others; we love those who return our love. We treat with kindness those who are kind to
us. It is not that way with God. He loves us with no strings attached. He loves us and went out of His way to prove
it when He went to the cross and died for our sins.
Let your heart not be
troubled today; God loves you. Let not
the treatment of others bother you today; God loves you. Let not your heart be afraid of what lies
before you; God loves you. Let not your
heart despair because of the rejection of others today; God loves you. He loves you beyond measure; He always has
and He always will.
