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!
