The Unwavering Love of God
At the very core of our relationship with God lies a profound truth: He has instilled in us a reciprocal bond, where His love for us is mirrored by His desire for us to love Him in return. This sacred exchange is rooted in the promise that nothing can ever separate us from His unwavering love.
A Love Beyond Measure
Jesus Himself reminds us of the depth of His affection in John 15:9, where He declares that He loves us with the same intensity as the Father has loved Him. This love is not fleeting or conditional; it is eternal and unconditional. It’s a love that remains constant, regardless of our circumstances or actions.
Remaining in His Love
Jesus’ love is not something we need to constantly refill or replenish. Rather, it’s an endless reservoir that stays full, always available to us. We matter that much to Him, whether we’re active or still, awake or asleep. As a Cuban pastor so eloquently put it, “When I wake up in the morning, I whisper, ‘Your treasure is awake now, Lord.’” We are His treasure, bought with the ultimate price of His suffering, death, and resurrection.
Living in the Security of God’s Love
Do we truly grasp the magnitude of Jesus’ love for us? Do we live each day with the confidence that we are cherished treasures of God? A simple yet profound childhood song echoes this truth: “Jesus loves me. This I know. For the Bible tells me so.” May we internalize this truth and bask in the security of being loved eternally and unconditionally.
A Prayer of Surrender
Heavenly Father, I pray that I may fully comprehend the depth of Your love for me. Help me to surrender to the truth that Jesus loves me with the same intensity as You loved Him. Fill me with Your love, and may it permeate every aspect of my being. Thank You that nothing can ever separate me from Your love, today or any day. Amen.
