As I write to you today I find that sometimes we just need to be reminded of the love that God has for each and everyone of us, and yes that includes You! I am here to tell you God loves you so much that he gave His Son Jesus and all that He accomplished; to You, and You, and You, all mankind back into right standing with Him. Why? Because He loves you and wants to have relationship with you because that is why you were created in the first place!
God is interested and wants to be a part of everything that you do. That is why He sent the Holy Spirit, His Spirit to dwell with you to comfort and guide you.
Ephesians 5:1-2 (MSG)
Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.
Today God wants you to know whatever you need He is there for you. Jesus the Son of God and representative of all mankind is there for those who choose to believe. Jesus said “go and whosoever will.” That does not mean to go and manipulate or judge others, it means to love others because God loved first. When God made man He looked upon His creation with Agape Love, He was so amazed that it took His breath away and with that breath God breathed Life into man. Life formed out of the Love of God.
It is because of that love that mercy found grace and we now through the gift of His Son Jesus Christ have been given the gift of righteousness, personal relationship with Him forever. The way it was meant to be!
I leave you today with Paul’s words found in Ephesians 3
Ephesians 3:14-19 (MSG)
My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit—not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength—that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you'll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God.
God Loves You! You Are Blessed!
