Divine Love

We all have different stories, but what binds us all together is that we’re all created in God’s image, and He loves us all the same. His love is not the “love” the world speaks of. It’s true love. It’s divine love. 1 John 3:16 says: “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.” Divine love not not only saves our souls for eternity, it saves our lives while we are still here! Divine love has the power to eclipse everything we once held dear and every bit of pain and suffering we have had to endure. I remember the first time I encountered the love of God – it was so much better than anything I’d ever experienced on this earth. It’s the only reason why I am alive today. And if you are still breathing, it’s not by chance. God has a plan for you and wants to use you to fulfill His good purposes. Please don’t take that lightly. This is my sincere prayer.

Lord, I pray that the following song would cause us all to meditate on your great love for us. Bring about freedom, that we may worship You in Spirit and in truth. And for all who have yet to experience Your great love, move on their hearts and let them not wait another moment. Tomorrow is never guaranteed; today is the day of salvation. Once a person encounters your love, they are never the same! Holy Spirit, have Your way. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
