UNBEATABLE LOVE STORY


READ: 1 JOHN 4:7-21
God is love. Love is another name you can call God. He demonstrates his love to us in the past, present and future. He gave his greatest gift to us when he sent his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, some 2000 years ago to come and die for sinful man and restore fellowship with God.
“In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.” (1 John 4:19).
Today, we bask in his love at every moment – his loving eyes are never shut because he does not want us out of his sight even for a second. 'Blessed be God who daily loads us with benefits even the God of our salvation.'
He has provided all you will ever need, even before your birth. He is happy to meet your daily needs. He loves you in spite of what you do when you sin. His heart is deeply wounded and he is pained because of his love for you. And when the repercussions of your sin take their toll on you, he shares in it too.
“In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them; in His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He bore and carried all the days of old.” (Isaiah 63:9).
He has passed this way before, so he knows just what you feel when you are tempted, or in pain and distress. He cares for you. He thinks of you always. He plans good for your entire life. Because he loves you, whatever he allows to come your way is for your good. He cannot forsake you or leave you.
He says: 'I have born, I will also carry you.' He is not tired of taking care of you. He has planned for you to spend eternity with him, so that you can see him face to face and live with him eternally. What an unbeatable, everlasting love! In any situation you find yourself, remember God loves you very much. He is waiting for you to return and rest in him!
MEMORIZE: 1 JOHN 2:5 -But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
