Today we read an amazing description of the love of God in the One Year Bible, where we read from Romans 4:13-5:5. We read that God loves us so much, He put His love into us.
That's pretty mind blowing. If you've ever loved someone at that deep level, loving them so much that you would die for them, that you would do ANYTHING for them... you start to understand the love of God for us. If you've loved your children, but they grew cold and distant... how much you would love to put your love INTO their hearts, and help them to love again, and to love YOU again.
If you've ever been in love with someone who didn't love you back... how much you would have wanted to put your love into them, so they would return that love.
That's how God feels about us. He loves us more than we can fathom. He tells us over and over throughout the Bible how much He loves us. He demonstrated that love by becoming one of us and dying on the cross for us. And then He even commands us to love Him back! That's how much He loves us and wants us to love Him... it's the greatest commandment. Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. And then He does what we wish we could do... He puts His love into our hearts, so that we can love Him with the pure, holy love with which He loves us.
That's a lot of love.
God, thank You for loving us so much.
