I keep returning over and over to God's love because it is incredible. He loved me soo much that He gave His only son to die for me (John 3:16), not because of anything I did or was going to do...but just because He is God. I think that's the greatest distinction between us humans, our definition of love, and God's. We as much as we try not to put conditions on the love given, getting upset when things dont go as plan or the desired response is not obtained. But there are moments however when pure perfect godly love comes through. A mother's love for her child, buying someone lunch, volunteering in disaster relief, being the open arms where someone can find rest and relief, a friendly welcome home smile for a returning soldier in the airport, a grateful heart for a need being met by another's random act of kindness such as a rebuilt home for a family....the list is endless...we as humans do possess God's heart, but sometimes we chose to display it and sometimes we don't. God on the other hand is faithful to love Always. That is my strength, assurance, and source of my joy.
Holy Spirit, thank You for Your guidance everyday. May I continue to strive to be more godly and holy in all areas of my life. Father, just as Your word says in Romans 14:7-8, "For none of us lives to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord". Help me alwasy remember that You are my God. You are in control of my life and my purpose is to bring a touch of heaven in earth. Lord Jesus Christ help me model my life and faith after Yours. All these I ask in your name and receive in faith. Amen
