Love Part 2

If you ever doubt His Love, remember, He loves you THIS much.
So today right before we performed a chimes song for Education Sabbath, the younger kid who introduced the song used the same verse I used in yesterday's blog post.

Coincidence? I don't think so. 

Also later one of my friends invited me to an outreach event that was happening in a Spanish neighborhood. I had no idea that one of the songs that she would be singing was How Deep the Father's Love For Us. 

Once again, I don't think it was coincidence.

At the outreach event there weren't very many people there and it sprinkled and rained throughout the whole thing. But near the end I saw that one of the attendees was walking away with a copy of the book The Passion of Love: He Did it for You, and it just made me so happy I jumped for joy and smiled. It reminded me how God doesn't only love me, but he has so much love that he has enough for each and every sinner that cries to Him in need. I'm so thankful for a God like that! 

God has a wonderful way of reminding us of His Love each and every day, it makes me so happy to think He cares about me so much.

Love

Frustrated to tears of the events of the past few months I went to my blog just for something to do and listened to the first song on my playlist. How deep the Father's Love for us, how vast beyond all measure that He should give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure.

How can I be mad at people for messing up and being hypocritical when I do the same thing to God? Think about it.

I mess up on a daily basis and then go to bed after praying; Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for this day, please forgive me of my sins. Then the next day I wake up and do the exact same things that I asked forgiveness for the night before. But God still loves me. How is this possible? Because God is Love.

God can never stop loving because He IS Love. He is the very essence of Love, it's definition.

It makes me awestruck to think that He can make me, the very essence and definition of a sinner, His treasure. 


It's one of those things that you think about and go "that is impossible". It's so deep there is no metaphor you could ever use to compare it to.

Imagine life without gravity. Deeper than that too.

God Loved us SO much that He gave His one and only Son to make us, the worst sinners, his treasure? Yes, and much more than that, not only did He do that, He offered to take us wretches to heaven to share His home with us and make us perfect too. It doesn't even cost us anything. It cost Him His Son.


Life isn't always easy, friends come and go, but one thing is always the same. His Love. 


Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8

Priceless

 As I was walking through Wal-Mart in one of the isles I saw a price scanner (for those items that don't have a price tag). I paused for little while while looking at the items on the shelves, then before I walked away I stuck my hand under the bar code scanner. Of course I knew it wouldn't do anything, I just thought it would be fun to see what shape the laser made on my hand. I looked at the screen, nothing, as I expected.

Oh, I'm not worth anything. I thought with a chuckle.

Then I looked closer. There in my hand was the shape of the cross. Then I heard that still small voice. You may not be worth anything to those of this world, but I paid for you with My Son, this bloodstained cross means way more than ANYTHING on that screen ever could.

I walked away from there deep in though. I am so very blessed to have a God who cares about me so much, he even reminds me of His love at Wal-Mart! I needed that today, and He knew that. Don't worry about what other people do or say to you, I paid for you with My Son, you are priceless.
