"For us, we have come to know God's love and believe in it." 1 John 4:16
This morning the sun rose. The flowers opened to welcome his warmth. The birds have welcomed the dawn of their songs. The whole creation set in motion to the sound of the voice of Him who said : "Let light be ..." A millennial order. A few words in the mouth of one who is all and can do everything.
God loves you and his love is matched only by the immensity of eternity.
Even today, God wants light to be in all areas of your life, all the spaces of your heart. Stand up with strength and faith. Seize this eternal and immutable truth : God does not change. His love does not change. You will never hear enough, never read it enough. God loves you.
Do you remember the fire of the first love ?
It was like a flame that warms everything in its path, a reassuring light that illuminates your paths, an irresistible force that drives you to the wildest sacrifices ...
Love is one of the most powerful motivations that animate the human being. For love, we are ready to move mountains, travel miles, sacrifice hours of sleep and so many other things ... Yet you are human like me, and your love can fluctuate from one day to another.
The love of God is different. He is perfect, unconditional, unlimited and eternal. This love is much more than an emotion: it is a support, a strength and a power that accompany you, strengthen you and raise you up.
Nothing will separate you from this love (Romans 8:39)
This love loved you first (1John 4:19)
This love clears your debts (1John 4:10)
This love is eternal (Jeremiah 31: 3)
This love gave his life for yours (John 15:13)
This love chases your fears (1John 4:18)
This love is a person (1John 4:16)
Every day God tells you, "I love you." He offers you flowers every spring and a magnificent picture every evening at sunset. He takes care of you and comes to your rescue whenever you need it. Even today, God accompanies you, surrounds you and sustains you.
Why does he do all this ? Because he loves you. Yes, God loves you and his love is matched only by the immensity of eternity.
A prayer for today
Praise God with me: "Lord, I know that you love me with eternal love. You love me passionately, you love me so much ... Thank you God, in the name of Jesus."
