The Love of God

I've watched the video above numerous times and I still can't seem to stop tears from running down my cheeks. The love of God is such a sensitive topic and I'll honestly say that I'm not worthy and wise enough to tackle this topic but may the Holy Spirit help me as always as I write this post.

As humans, we can't fully comprehend the love of God. I mean some people have grasped a sense of it, but no one fully understands the depth of God's love. The love of God surpasses all knowledge; we can't comprehend it unless we ourselves are rooted in love and have Jesus in our hearts (Ephesians 3:17-19). Because God is love. If you do not love, you do not know God (1 John 4:8). Even Christianity as a whole is based on love. If God didn't love us unconditionally, Jesus wouldn't have come to save the world (John 3:16). But God showed His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ came and died for us (Romans 5:8).

The love of God brings me to tears and sometimes when I think of all God has done for me I get really emotional. How much more when God reveals to me the real depth of His love? The main thing that baffles me about His love is that we are not befitting of it. Like who on earth will do something so agonizing, something that brings so much pain for someone who doesn't even deserve it? I don't understand. And the fact that even though we consciously sin and choose not to obey Him His love endures.

Indeed God is love. And love??.. Love is patient, love is kind. Love doesn't envy, no it doesn't boast. It's not selfish and it's not easily angered. Love doesn't remember the wrongs, it doesn't delight in evil. It's always protecting, always trusting and it always perseveres. Love never fails. And these are what God is; patiently waiting and enduring, not wanting for you to perish but for you to come to repentance (2 Peter 2:9). Take heed.
Stay blessed loves!
