Ephesians 2:4-6
"But God, who is rich in mercy, for
His great love wherewith He
loved us, even when we were dead in
sins, hath quickened us together
with Christ (by grace are ye saved)
and hath raised us up together
and made us sit together in Heavenly
places in Christ Jesus."

Oh, the depth of the love that God has
for His children! He manifested
this great love when He gave His best
for us. Jesus, His son, loved enough
to endure the agony of the
cross that we might be free from the
bondage
of sin.

Praise and worship floods my very
being as I think of how much my
Heavenly Father loves me! My heart
overflows with gratitude and
responding love towards Him! I do
not have to wonder if God love me
or if He will always love me.
Often I am unsure of the love others
have
for me. The affection of some might
come with conditions. Praise God,
HE loves me unconditionally! He
loves me when I am good, or when
I am bad. He loves me when I succeed,
or when I fail. God's love is
constant, never changing.

I did not earn His love, so it does
not depend on my performance. I do
not deserve God's love,
yet it is freely given. He loves each
of us in this
way, for He is no respecter of
persons. Others may give up on me,
but God does not. He keeps me by
His power, for He who began a
good work in me will perform it
until the day of Christ.

When I am weary and feel I cannot go
on, He whispers loving words of
encouragement: "You can make it,
child, for I am with thee."
Knowing God is for me gives me the
strength and courage to press on.
Matthew 10:29
"Are not two sparrows sold for a
farthing? And one of them shall not
fall on the ground with out your
Father." The Greek for 'without' in
this verse means: "without your
Father's knowledge and participating
presence." God is aware when a tiny
sparrow falls, and His word tells
me I am of much more value than
many sparrows!

Praise God for His great love! Love
that reaches out to enfold the
sheep of His pasture, and
beyond to lost ones who do not know
Him,
who hold no regard for Him.
Such Love!
Such Amazing Love!
