Whether you like it or not, whether you are worthy or not, whether you are holy or not, He has decided to LOVE you till the end with an unconditional LOVE.
Even if you don’t like yourself, or you feel nobody loves you, HE loves you. God loves you… is a fact. Nothing you can do that can stop Him from Loving you. And actually, there is no way you can hide from His Love (Psalm 139).
God’s Love is Total and Unselfish
Though unconditional, though your sins won’t stop Him from loving you, HE never approves your acting against Him. He wants you to accept His Love, Why?
He loves you unselfishly that He desires the best for you. What can be the best other than God himself?? What else is better than His Love?
For this…… He sacrifices Himself to free you from the condemnation of being eternally separated from Him due to sins.
“For God so loved the World that He gave His only Son, that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life” John 3:16
My friends, God's love is..... Perfect
So what then ......., I know God Loves Me, so what.....
God’s Love is Personal
He wants to be in a personal relationship with you. Yes, He is your God, Saviour and King. But he also said, "I am your friend" (John 15:15), "I am your spouse" (Hosea 2: 15, 18-19), "I am your father" (Luk 15:1-32, Rom 8:15-16), "I am your food, your daily bread" (John 6), and many more.
He wants to be that personal with you. He knows your name, even before you were created in your mother's womb, he had written your name in the palm of His hand (Isaiah 49:16). He knows every single detail of yours, He is watching over you, even the hairs of your head are all numbered by Him (Mat 10:30).
Some of you may start thinking ..... are you sure??? then how about those bad things happened in my life? WHERE WAS HE... during those moments.
Well, He was there too, giving you strength. In all the good and bad times, he was there, and only Him can eventually create something good out of the bad things happened in your life (Roman 8:28).
He desires to be in a Love relationship, an intimate love relationship with you, and He waits for you to respond....to desire this relationship as well. He wants you to walk with Him and that you may know that you can always run to Him especially during the bad times.
So, don't be afraid to seek, desire, yearn and pray for it.
"When you call me, when you go to pray to me, I will listen to you. When you look for me, you will find me. Yes, when you seek me with all your heart" Jer 29:12-13
When God created us, He intended us to be in this love relationship with Him. That is why all the longing and questions in our heart are meant to point to this "Something Perfect". No matter how hard we try to quench this desire with other things, such as wealth, status and other kind of relationships..... we will never be satisfied... for this desire is meant to be quenched with the "Something Perfect", God's Love. That is why, God's Love is the Love that satisfies.
--End Of Summary--
"My heart is restless till it rests in Thee, Oh Lord" - St Augustine of Hippo
Open wide the doors to Christ!
"“Dear young people, like the first disciples, follow Jesus! Do not be afraid to draw near to Him, to cross the threshold of his dwelling, to speak with Him, face to face, as you talk with a friend. Do not be afraid of the “new life” He is offering. He Himself makes it possible for you to receive that life and practice it, with the help of His grace and the gift of His Spirit.” - Pope John Paul II.
"If we let Christ into our lives, we lose nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing of what makes life free, beautiful and great. No! Only in this friendship are the doors of life opened wide.... Yes, open, open wide the doors to Christ and you will find true life" - Pope Benedict XVI.
