Our limited minds can't comprehend God's love because it comes with no strings attached. He doesn't love us 'if,' but 'in spite of.' As a parent you may not approve of your child's behaviour, but you always love and accept them.

Paul asks, 'Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love?'(Romans 8:35 NLT).Then he answers, '... I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love...'(Romans 8:38).

Doesn't that blow your mind? We have just enough ego to believe there are certain sins God can't get over; like the ones we never commit. Do you remember the Pharisee in the temple who prayed, '... "God, I thank You that I am not like other men; extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or... this tax collector [standing next to me]" ' (Luke 18:11 NKJV).

Understand this: God's standard is perfection, and you couldn't reach it in a thousand lifetimes! Grace is the only hope any of us have. Our love for God relates to the level of the forgiveness we've received from Him. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus would allow a woman with a bad reputation to kneel at His feet, bathing them with her tears and drying them with her hair. They thought, '... "If Jesus were a prophet, he would know that the woman...is a sinner!"' (Luke 7:39 NCV). No, it wasn't that Jesus didn't know, it was that He didn't care. 'And he said unto her, "Thy sins are forgiven"'(Luke 7:48 NKJV). Then He gives us the bottom line: '... to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little' (Luke 7:47-48 KJV). And what should our response to God's love be? 'This is love for God: to obey his commands... ' (1 John 5:3 NIV).

God loves you, He really does!

Sometimes that message gets lost in all this talk about hell and being obedient.

Very true. Many christians today only want an escape from hell. This message directs us to the true message - That God really loves us, and He wants us to love Him back!

There is a old- old song called "Jesus Loves Me This I Know, For The
Bible Tells Me So" . I learned this song when I was about 4 years old,
I am now 78, and all my years I have loved, and feared the Lord.
It is the good life.

The Lord hates sin, because of what it does to us, it steals, kills, and
Destroys us. But Jesus came to give us life and a life more abundantly,
And that is a life of Love.
Until we come to understand and believe at our deepest, intermost level
That God is love, we will struggle with trusting Him, yielding to Him
Wholeheartedly. One of the keys to our spiritul growth as a Christian
Is believing in God's love even when we cannot see it. Our most
Important dwelling place is God's love.

Love, and Blessings Maggie 3
