"But because of His Great Love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-- it is by grace you have been saved; And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the Heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:4-10.
What manner of Love is this--what Grace He has bestowed? Who are we that He would allow His only begotten Son to die in our place upon that cruel cross. Such love is beyond our human ability to comprehend and yet, His love is never ending and holds no restrictions. "The Love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell. It goes beyond the highest star and reaches to the lowest hell. The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win, His erring child, He reconciled and pardoned from his sin. Oh love of God how rich and pure; how measureless and strong; It shall forevermore endure, the saints' and angels' song."
Such reassuring warmth comes as we sing this old song and feel the Father's love wrapping around us, holding us close to His bosom. To know that the God of all creation loves us with a love so unconditional that no matter what we may or may not do, there is nothing that can ever separate us from His love as declared in Romans 8:38-39, " For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
As you go about your day, I pray you feel the love of God and allow His love to saturate every part of your being so you will enjoy a wonderfully loved and blissful day; simply because God loves you and so do I~~~
