VERSE:
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us.
-- Romans 5:8
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Romans+5:8&translation=kjv
THOUGHT:
Interestingly, the Bible doesn't ever just say that God loves
us. Instead, it says: "God demonstrated his love..." "In this is
love, not that we loved God but that God loved us and gave..." "For
God so loved the world that he gave..." Love is more than emotion
or intention. True love, redemptive love, God-styled love is
active; it does something. For us, Jesus did more than something;
he sacrificed everything. What's more, he did it when we most
needed it. He demonstrated his love when we were sinners!
PRAYER:
Father, thank you for loving me. I love you. I love you for what
you've done. I love you for who you are. I love you for your
promises. I love you for your faithfulness. Most of all, dear
Father, I love you because of Jesus who showed me just how much you
love me. Please empower me to show my love by serving and giving to
others as Jesus did. In his name I pray. Amen.
