He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
1 John 4:8
God’s love is all-conquering, just, discerning, merciful, and full of grace. It draws those who have ears to hear (Matthew 11:15) to the narrow gate, and safe way (Matthew 7:13-14). His love demands justice and truth, and it commands the universe. From cover to cover, the Bible contains and describes God’s love and all He will do to preserve it.
How powerful is God’s love? Well, it’s so powerful that, when placed in God’s almighty hands, in His time, it can bring victory, peace, rest, contentment and great joy out of any circumstance or situation…Any.
How’s God going to work all things together for good? Honestly, I don’t know. But, He does, and He has the power to do it. That’s one reason that life with God is the adventure of a lifetime. He loves to show us His plans and surprises in His perfect timing with His ongoing love story for each of us.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus…Truly, there’s just something about that Name. After all, Jesus is the Name that is ABOVE every other name.
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:17-19
God bless,
