Oh How I Love Thee! (#12)

God looks upon us -- “How do I love you? Let me help you count the ways.”

How does God’s love impact our lives? How do we respond to such a love? Do we trust God’s love?

John stated:
“So we have come to know and to BELIEVE THE LOVE THAT GOD HAS FOR US. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.” ( I John 4:16 ESV)

If we truly have come to know God’s love then we should have reached a point where we have learned to believe it really is true. His love is reliable because it is true, pure, and steadfast. His love is there to touch every aspect of our lives. His love is there for us during every circumstance of life. His love is there to uphold us in life and death. Therefore His love should serve to sustain our faith, empower our lives and compel us to serve in accordance with His will.

Have a great day RELYING ON GOD’S GREAT LOVE!
Carl
