God’s love is
not like any other love that you have or will experience from a person. God’s
love is unconditional, that means you don’t have to do anything to experience His love. I know that is hard to believe since
as humans we do not treat each other with this kind of love, but God is not
like humans.
But
can you actually feel God’s love?
God’s love can be felt,
not like a human feeling but through His relentless pursuit of an intimate
relationship He desires with you. God not only wants to have a relationship
with you, He wants you to know that He never gives up on you. People give up on
you, they betray you, reject you, abuse you, and use you. God’s love never does
anything to hurt you. I know that may seem hard to believe if you have
experienced a lot of trouble and heartache in your life, but God always wants
the best for you. God will never turn His back on you. Even if you turn your
back on God, He will still come after you. You can shut God out of your life,
and that will make things harder to experience Him, but He waits for you to
say, “come back into my life.” When you invite God in, He comes running like a
parent does when they hear their newborn baby crying.
Reflect:
Do you have trouble feeling God’s love? Why? Now ask
God to lavish His love upon you today and then anticipate how God will love on
you. Understand that God’s love is unconditional for His children, just like as
a parent you never stop loving your children even when they do things that are
not good. God, is a good, good Father. He desires to love you and for you to
know His love. You don’t have to wait to get everything perfect in your life to
experience God’s love, He wants to love you right where you are at.
Meditate:
But
you O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. Psalm 86:15
