June 7 – The power of His love

“I hear someone was in luv wit u, was beaten n killed becoz of u, I neva believed till I saw it on calvary. What a great love Christ has 4 you. HAPPY EASTER,” were the words a friend of mine sent to me on Easter day.

Max Lucado also wrote in his book, a Love Worth Giving (which I highly recommend):

“God loves you. Personally. Powerfully. Passionately. Others have promised and failed. But God has promised and succeeded. He loves you with an unfailing love. And His love – if you will let it – can fill you and leave you with a love worth giving” (Page 2).

Note the “if you will let it.” Sometimes we do not let God love us, as we ought to. He says:

“He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” Romans 8v32

Even as believers, do we accept God’s love? And how do we show it? Is it reciprocated? Hmmm...

Have a very wonderful day.
