Being Valentine's Day, the main focus is on love, and not just any love, erose love (love between a couple). I decided to do this post today because on Valentine's Day we forget the most important/most remarkable/unfathomable love...(Drum rolls)... GOD'S LOVE!!!!!
I don't know if anyone of you readers has ever taken time to think and reflect on the love of the Most High!!!!! It is unfathomable i.e incapable of being fully explored or understood or impossible to measure the extent of. It is unexplainable, incredible, inexhaustible, constant, available, UNCONDITIONAL!!!!! Did I forget SACRIFICIAL! There are endless words to explain God's love, also known as AGAPE LOVE!
To the sacrificial nature of God's love; the most obvious sign of God's sacrificial love,
John 3:16: For God so loved the world that He gave His only son so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life!
God gave Himself, Holy and Mighty and Powerful as He is; He decided to give Himself, in form of flesh, Jesus, for us, undeserving and mere humans!!! Jesus, His Son, pure, holy and blameless, sinless, faced and underwent the punishment we humans deserved to face; the pain, the torment, the torture, the lashes, the whips, the crucifixion, the excruciating pain; all that and more of what Jesus went through, we were supposed to go through but God decided that Jesus should take it on our behalf! This kind of love cannot be found anywhere at all!!!! I'm sure even spouses cannot offer this kind of love at all!!! (YES!!! YOU CAN TAKE THIS STATEMENT TO THE BANK!!!!!!) So grab it!
God's love is also constant an available, that is, it remains the same;its does not change at all!!!! This is one of the many wonderful and beautiful things about God; He loves us the same always. Nothing we do can cause Him to stop loving us or to love us less because He chose to love us not because of anything we did. We did nothing to warrant or be worthy of His love. If it was about what we've done, God wouldn't have loved us because before salvation, we were sinners hence, we did not deserve His love. God does not love us more when we obey Him and less when we sin. His love for us is steadfast, as His Word in
Lamentations 3:22 says: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end;
Even if we immerse ourselves in total sin, He still loves us!!!! He loves murderers, devil worshippers, atheists,the list is endless, but you get my point; He loves them still!!!!
In conclusion, God's love is the best, the ULTIMATE/GREATEST LOVE EVER!!! Never to be found anywhere!!!! Therefore, accept God's love; grab it and run with it!!! His love will never bring you pain or regret, as earthly,especially erose and filial(love of family and friends)!!!! It bears the qualities highlighted in
1 Corinthians 13:4-8: Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, endures all things. Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
Let God be your ULTIMATE VALENTINE, your NO. 1 VALENTINE, ALWAYS, whether you have a spouse or not!!!!! His love will always be available for you!!!!
