One of the greatest gifts we can offer
another or that can be bestowed upon us, is the gift of unconditional love.
Maybe you were blessed to grow up in a family that gave and received love. You
knew, no matter what, no matter the mistakes made on either side of the
relationship, love remained.
When we are loved unconditionally, our
confidence grows. Our confidence in ourselves as people worthy to be loved and
confidence enough to trust others, confidence to be open to genuine and loyal
relationships.
Jesus offers us unconditional, everlasting
love. His love is beyond even our greatest and most love-filled relationships
on earth. Jesus can fill the gaps suffered from unloving relationships. He can
fill our hearts with His love, until we grow in the ability to live out the
rest of our lives, filled with contentment and filled with joy.
As believers, we will have Jesus forever.
Nothing you can do will pull you away from His grasp. You belong to Him. We can
conquer anything with His kind of love. Here are a few more of my many, many
favorite verses. Place them in your
hearts and be filled today.
No, in all these
things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 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. Romans 8:37-39
I can do all things
through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
Jesus,
Your love is so
deep and wide, so sacrificial and so overwhelming, it is hard for us to accept.
Thank You for loving us. Let Your Holy Spirit wash over us and lavish us with
the much-needed love today and every day. May we never forget.
Amen
