Reflect: Think about God’s LOVE. It’s unfailing. It’s everlasting. It’s beautiful. It’s personal. It can be described in a myriad of ways. But the greatest description of God’s LOVE, is the actual demonstration of God’s LOVE.
Read: In Matthew 1:21, we read, “She will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Why…why would God send His one and only Son to save His people from their sins? In John 3:16, we read, “For God so LOVED the world that He gave His one and only Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.”
Picture: Imagine the many
different ways we choose to show people we love them. We send a lovely,
heartfelt card. We buy them the perfect gift. We spend 4 hours shopping with
them or watching an action flick together. We hold hands or give a neck and
shoulder rub. We say it over and over with our words, with our eyes, with our
actions. But none of these actions can come close to comparing with God’s
perfect expression of love for us…He gave His Son. He allowed His Son to die in
order to pay the penalty for our sins so we wouldn’t have to.
Pray: Dear God, thank You for Your LOVE. Thank You for LOVING us enough to send Jesus to be our Savior. Remind us today to show Your LOVE to others by the way we walk and talk and worship. Give us tangible ways to share Your LOVE with the world we live in.
Celebrate: Today, celebrate the LOVE of God. Bask in His LOVING arms. Spend time talking to God and thanking Him for His LOVE.
