Love Beyond Measure
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need. Hebrews 4:16 NIV
Unconditional love! Have you ever experienced this awesome feeling? Until recently I really never realized how many people struggle with understanding the concept of unconditional love.
I feel so blessed to have grown up under this kind of love. My mother loves her children no matter what. I honestly believe there is nothing I could do in which she would not find a way to support me. She may not always agree with me, and she may be quick to point that out, but I have always known that I have one person in my corner.
My mother surrounded her children with unconditional love. I know many times I disappointed my mother growing up, as all kids do (and I still do today at times). Disappointment never caused disapproval of me as a person. I am my mother's son, period! I am welcomed always, supported con tinuously, and reaffirmed often.
I hope you had that experience, because it will go a long way toward understanding the deep love of our wonderful God. The truth is, however, that no matter what our experience is, we cannot fathom the depth of God's love for His children (Ephesians 3:19). God's love is deeper than our level of comprehension. He loves you and me, not because of who we are, but because of who HE is! He is God! He is the Creator, Sustainer and Protector of the Universe. He made you and me in His image so that He could love us and we could love Him. He doesn't just give us love; He is love.
I usually say �if you are a child of God,� but in this instance I am safe to say that whether or not you are a child of God, God loves you unconditionally. You didn't earn it; you don't deserve it; you couldn't buy it; and you can't sell it. His love is yours whether you accept it or not. You cannot stop His love based on your behavior. (That being said, His love alone will not forgive your sins, that's why, because He loves you so much, He was willing to send His Son to die for you. By your faith in Jesus your sins are forgiven.)
I don't mean to oversimplify this, but I need to make sure I am clear on this one topic: God loves you, and He always will!
Thank you, Mom, for loving me unconditionally. You must have learned it from our Heavenly Father!
