“For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn
the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16-17, KJV).
His love is incredibly longsuffering,
releasing a saving grace for all believers in His Son. A Son, whose liberating
life, death and resurrection demolishes all oppressions and every stronghold.
His love overcomes all sin and
separation and is overreaching in its capacities to satisfy. His love saves us,
bringing a living hope to the hopeless. His love is a love from which we cannot
be separated.
His loving us as sinners, allowed His
Son to be humbled in the most vulnerable of sacrifices unto death. Christ's love is
beyond vigilant in the shedding of His blood to cover all the sins of a fallen
creation lost in its sin, disregard, pride and lusts.
His love is unfathomably extravagant
lavished upon us when we are so obscenely self-centered. His love is eternally
securing in our relationship with Him granting us a peace that passes
understanding.
Longsuffering and liberating, overcoming
and overreaching, vulnerable and vigilant and extravagant and eternal are just
words that describe God’s love. Still these and million other words would not
be sufficient to describe even the beginning facets of His love. A myriad of words
from a myriad of angels cannot express the love of God unfolding before them
and the world cannot contain all the books it would take to express the love
lived out in gift of His Son.
Oh, that we would grasp the slightest
dimensions of the width and breath and length of His love that through His
grace makes us adopted royalty in a living Spirit secured
eternity. Oh, that we would allow this
incredible favoring, to fragrance our lives with the love of Christ to become
to others the compassionate love that He is to us. Oh, that we would love like
we are loved.
Oh Lord, pour out your love again upon us … your
indescribable love that carries us now and eternally home. Dear Eternal Father,
you are love. Thank you for your love steadfast and everlasting upon us. Thank you for loving all the world. Thank you for loving us.
