The abused child. The betrayed man or woman. The neglected
family. All of us, all of humanity, craves love. If we don’t receive it
naturally and think of ourselves as valuable and worthy to be loved, we lash
out, we numb the pain, we blame or turn inward.
God loves each of
us. With all of the pain and suffering in the world, man finds this tough, if
not impossible, to believe and understand. God continually seeks us and gives
us opportunities to find Him, to know Him, to receive love from Him.
We can’t work our
way there. There is not enough “good” we can do for others to earn that love,
no certain amount of prayer, no sacrifice worthy enough.
We have all sinned and fall short of the glory of
God. Romans 3:23
The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
But God demonstrated His love for us in this; that
while we were yet sinner, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
God’s love for you
is beyond this earth. He died for you and me. Let that lavish love fill you,
that kind of love we long to receive. It
is there for the asking and the love of Christ will transform you forever.
Lord,
So many are hurting and lashing out. Love them. See them. Let
them hear Your everlasting voice declaring unconditional love. The one who
saves. It is Jesus.
Amen
