Love of God

September 17, 2015

Devotions:

        “For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:”  ‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

        “For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.”  ‭Galatians‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

        It is all about love, the love of God that He has for His creation, for His sons and daughters.  God is love and as we love and walk in love we walk in God.  This love is a love that looks to give and bless without any expectation of a return from the object of our love.  This is the principal of the universe because God is the creator of the universe.  This love is first in God and as we come to know and believe the love that God has for us.  

        “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

We love him, because he first loved us.”  ‭1 John‬ ‭4:10-11, 19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

        Our worship is an expression of a love realized and returned.  We receive His love through faith.  If we focus on a feeling we will be up and down.  But our feelings will follow our actions and our actions will come out of our beliefs.   We choose to believe that God loves us and how great is that love.  Our belief comes from what we choose to hear and to what we give our time.  The more we meditate on His love for us, the passion of Christ inwhich God demonstrated His love for us.  We were made to respond to the pure love of God.  He loves us unconditionally.  He accepts us unconditionally.  When we believe His love for us then our faith works at a supercharged level.  We are convinced then God is totally for us and is looking for opportunities to bless us and meet our every need.  

        "Oh how He loves you and me, He gave His life, what more could He do..."
