In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 1 John 4:9

God’s love is truly amazing; it is beyond human comprehension and outright immeasurable- it has the power to change hearts and mold any willing soul into His image. Every born-again believer can attest to this magnificent love that we process in our hearts, it gives us the desire to love one another, comfort the broken hearted, lift the downtrodden soul, and run on to see what the end will be, even when the odds are against us-I am reminded that love lifted me one day! “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.”  1 John 4:9

God love teaches us how to embrace the light that we possess inside, opposed to the darkness of this world… it faithfully comforts us when we must endure circumstances that appear to challenge all that we know to be good and right…but we have the assurance in the words of Romans 8:28: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

My friends, we don’t walk this Christian journey as those who have no hope- but by standing on the promises of Almighty God. The same love that lifted us one day and gave us the right to eternal life-empowers us to love all men. Matthew 5:43-48 gives us the key to peace of mind and heart:“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” 

Whatever may concern your heart, mind, and soul at this very moment- know that God is soveriegn and knows exactly what He is doing. The word of the Lord in Isaiah 40:28 states “Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.” When trials, tribulation and things that grip us at the very core come.. do we so easily forget who He is, regardless to any circumstance, we have comfort and peace in the faithfulness and sovereignty of Almighty God- the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the All Sufficient One! Hallelujah!

So, let us proclaim with all our heart, mind and soul that “This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it!” we have peace in knowing that  God reigns forever- He is the King of Glory and His peace and unconditional love will lift us far beyond this very existence, all the way from Earth to Heaven! … “Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah. “Psalm 24:10.  

Praise God, He is faithful and true; He will never fail to strengthen, keep and guide us along this Christian journey. My friends, may we all learn to take one day at a time…trusting in His power, resting in His unconditional love.
