Day 37 "Beloved And So Adored"
In Awe of His Beautiful Perfect Love
Good Morning Beauties!
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 NIV
This beautiful passage captures the depth of God’s love for us. It’s not simply a feeling, Jesus put His love into action. He died on the cross and rose again to reconcile us to the Father…even while we were still sinners. Let’s not forget that part, the hard part.
I think we have the most difficulty believing that last part, because Earthly love is conditional. It’s familiar, it’s what we know. The love of God is so different from anything we’ve ever known. It’s hard to grasp how deep, wide, high, and long is the love of God.
Here’s what we do know: God’s love is a gift and there’s nothing you can do to earn it. God’s love is personal as He knows you and calls you by name. God’s love is sacrificial, you need only look to the cross. God’s love is transformative, and you have new identity in Him. God’s love is everlasting and will never be separated from you…ever! Which of these statements resonated with you most? Is it a new truth? What lies have you believed about God’s love? Do these statements bring clarity? Selah.
Build your confidence today in the love of the Lord. You are His beloved and you are adored by the King of Kings….perfectly.
